Thread: Wild mushromm idnetification help

Had a fiancé once who work at FRI (forest research Institute) and I was used as the guinea pig for testing edible fungi. Around 90percent of Fungi are poisonous and the rest are edible. To me harvest and field mushrooms are the only ones worth eating. Shitake and others are just not worth the effort.

Q Why do Pixies and Dwarfs live in toad stools.
A Because there's not Mushroom inside

sorry

Sorry is just not good enough for that one

Thanks. To be on the safe side I ordered the books. I've always wanted to know what other than the bog standard field mushroom. My Italian father in law lives in Switzerland is passionate about collecting and cooking wild mushrooms. They taste incredible. If we have something close to porcini I'd be stoked.

Look for a VW Combi van with smoke coming out of it . Ask the long haired guy in the back with the purple pants , he will know .

If they grow under pinetrees please do not eat them...

Nah we haven't. Ended up ordering three books on NZ mushrooms. So hoping to be an expert in a week or two. I'm thinking mushroom and venison fettuccine in a cream sauce.

The bottom one looks like slippery jack, Quite nice indeed, sliced and the fried in some rendered duck fat. They generally grow beneath Pine and Spruce Trees.

I think you're right. That's a better photo than mine but it has that same sponge look underneath. They were a bit sticky on top. That may have bee because it was late afternoon by the time I came along. Thanks

Yep they are normally sticky on top thats normally.
