godman 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Just wondered what sort of wild mushrooms other people eat. The only one I've ever eaten which I found myself was a "bloody beefsteak", which grows on oaks in the autumn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anita&paul 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 we've had field mushrooms and horse mushrooms, the horse mushrooms are a larger variety and have found they have a stronger taste. goes well with sliced pigeon breast fried in the pan. delicious.............. nita and paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyho 181 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Puff balls are lovely, sliced and fried in a little butter with a bit of garlic, then eat with a peice of toast, but if the puff ball has a yellow tinge to it ,i dont think you can eat them then, we get loads of other mushrooms round here but i dont know what they are called, but again real tasty, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magpie 102 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The shaggy parasol is my personal favorite. You can find along hedgerows and on the edge of woodland from mid summer into autumn. After that it Puff balls and chicken of the woods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Wood Blewits are tastey fried in Bacon fat with the Bacon, stick a nice free range egg in afterwards with some salt and black pepper and straight into a Doorstep sandwich ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trappa 517 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Ive been into mushrooms for a few years now. Tried the penny bun and oyster mushrooms. I found a patch of horn of plenty about 3 summers ago. they were good. Havent tried chanterelles as apparently theres ones called jack o lanterns that look just like em, but are poisonous and im too much of a wuss to take a punt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juckler123 707 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) dry jews ears out and use em for gravy thickener no MSG spot on i eat em all my favourites are puffballs,blewits,all forms of the field mushies,oysters and chantrelles. Ive picked field blews for over thirty years now and at a pound a pound to the local greengrocer or butcher it makes for a good mornings walk and a good excuse for being on the land Edited September 15, 2007 by juckler123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 517 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Nice photo juckler. How do you know that chanterelles are indeed chanterelles and not jack o lanterns? is it where they are or do they look different? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scuba1 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I love to go out and get shrooms. Here we have the Bay Bolete, Chanterelle , Morels and a few others, I don´t know the English names of. What I don´t eat the same day, I dry and put in jars to keep for the rest of the year. Still have some dry bolete from last year as it was good and I got over 30 kg on one weekend.Rabbit stew with boletes and morels in it . OOOOHHHHH YYYEEEESSSSS ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
