Try some of the easy ones mate. Have a look at this site. Try Ceps, Hedgehogs mushrooms, Giant Puff balls, Oyster mushrooms and Chanterelles. I try to learn one or two each year. Atb. https://www.wildfooduk.com/articles/wild-mushrooms-for-beginners/ Cheers Arry

So, Tell Us, What Are Ye All At In The Veg Garden?
Arry replied to JohnGalway's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Probably the last Runners another frost this morning. Still my Leeks have picked up since July, they weren't moving much so gave them a feed and I'm quite pleased now. Go with the roast Lamb tonight. Cheers Arry -
Pocket full of Chestnuts while out with the ferrets this time. Nice ones though. Cheers Arry

The first one I think is "Sulphur Turf" its NOT edible and can cause serious gastrointestinal symptoms. The second may be "Brick Cap" which I have not tried. But if it is and I'm NOT SURE they can be eaten and are supposed to be quite good. Put those names into google and click images. have a look only if you are 100% then try one. Sorry can't help more. Cheers Arry Looking again I think they are all "Sulphur Turf" DO NOT EAT.

Looks well nice that Kanny, think I'll have to give it ago thanks. Cheers Arry

Some you definitely don't want to eat, but they do look stunning. Cheers Arry

The "Hedgehog mushrooms" starting, this is a good one and safe, well worth keeping an eye out for. These were growing in under Beech and Oak trees in the leaf litter we also find them in Fir tree woods. Easy to identify as they have spikes on the underside of the cap instead of gills. They hold there texture when cooked as well. Did post some last season, but just in case any body is interested. You can see the spikes and how easy they just brush off, which I do before cooking. Usually this creamy buff colour on top or a light terracotta. Cheers Arry

Think you might have a fan club and they are throwing their knicker at you. Lol. Cheers Arry

No mate had books for years before I would eat any thing a bit different from the norm. But Fred90 is right more people poisoned by the "Yellow Stainer" than any thing else, I think I'm right in saying. Cheers Arry

Out with the ferrets today came upon a little walnut grove, never picked them up before nice little bonus. Cheers Arry

Recon its a "Field mushroom" but is a little shaggy on top of the cap, theres one called the "Prince" which it looks a bit like and is well sort after have a look at this site. Cut the stem near the bottom if it goes bright chrome yellow DON'T EAT IT, it would be "The Yellow Stainer" the main one people get muddled up with "Field Mushrooms". GL posted a picture of a "Yellow Stainer" in the thread First Mushroom about a mouth or so ago. Put it on a piece of paper the spores should be dark brown for a field mushroom. https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/ Cheers Arry

Best bait by a country mile is Sprat fillet imo, stitched in and out up the trace then two fingers above the fillet on the trace and pulled down into a ball. In Alderney the locals use pork cubes and a rubby dubby of pork mashed up in water. Cheers Arry

Well Hamilton wins again but team orders put a downer on it for me. Would have been nice if they had let Bottas win it. Cheers Arry

What a shame. God bless and RIP Kyle. Arry

No mate, don't think it will be meadow hay, just wondered it it was barley from a farm. I've always had my suspicions about the grain hairs, what ever there real name is. The barley straw they sell for pets doesn't seem to have any head in it. Years ago while living on a farm I got straw for nothing but it wasn't clean. Had several ferret get obsesses back then, always thought there was a connection. Any way all the very best of luck with your ferret. Atb. Cheers Arry

Oh mate You have to do it once, they got so much info, wish I had a chance. If you still have that big one could you turn it over a take a photo of the under side. Cheers Arry
-
Can't quite make out what they are. Have they all got like a sponge on the under side of the caps mate. The rusty coloured one in the middle in the last photo, pretty sure is a "Orange Birch Bolete" and others in the bag look like "Birch Boletes"(which look the same as the orange one but would have a brown cap, white sponge on the under side of the cap, but the same long stalk with like grey speckles). Get your Polish mate to show you they are good at it. Cheers Arry

Abscess mate, its vet job mate as other lads said. Just out of curiosity do you use Barley straw straight from a farm? I've had this myself when I lived on a farm and wondered if it was those hair like bits that grow off the grains, might get stuck in the throat when the ferrets chew the straw up. Several of my mates have had problems with them hairs on there dogs while shoot standing Barley, in there eyes etc. Cheers Arry

Nice little "Cep" growing on the stoney track through the woods today. A Good example of what looks like a net or network on the stalk. Went to a little spot for "Chanterelles" they are a lovely egg yoke yellow here, where as the ones I find near were I live are a much duller almost buff dull colour. Growing in the leaf litter and moss under some Beech trees in a south facing wood. Cheers Arry
