May fit as you have found "Birch Polypore" which they recon is edible but its bitter, I tried soaking in salt water and a also milk but was sill bitter not so bitter but still not good. The "Birch Polypore" is very interesting though as I said in a earlier post its anti cancer, anti septic. You can even cut strip a piece of skin off which can be used as Elastoplast (Think the underside, but can't really remember), you can wrap it around a cut finger and it will stick to itself, so iv'e read. "Beef Steak" I found bitter as well even after soaking in milk, must try again as it says soak then grill, not tried that yet. There were a lot of them a few weeks back. If you have any fir plantations around have a look out for "Hedgehog mushrooms" and about now "Winter Chanterelles" if you find the later, then there may be hundreds or thousands of them. They are brown with yellow stems there nick name is yellow legs and they MUST have yellow stems. Not my photo. Cheers Arry Edited October 10, 2018 by Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,594 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Easy get caught out by these, I know GL posted pictures of one but thought I would post this. The wife rang just after she left for work saying theres some mushrooms growing in a old ladies garden that I do her shopping for. They look like some really nice mushrooms growing by her drive, growing in a bit of a strange spot for ordinary mushrooms. Thought nice feed here. I was a bit suspicious had a closer investigation. Just as well as I did "Yellow Stainer" poisonous and easily mistaken for "Field Mushroom" or "Horse Mushroom". Buy the way in about five minutes most of the yellow fades. About 50% of all mushroom poisonings in the uk are from this mushroom. Cheers Arry 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,594 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Safest way mate. Hints of yellow on the stalk and cap by the looks, cut or bruise the edge of the cap, cut base of the stalk as GL did in First Mushroom thread. Nice bit of mixed wood land you seem to have there should throw up some good stuff. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
green lurchers 16,369 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Good to see a few heading for the pan again . Must add I only found out this season that shaggy ink caps should not be consumed whit wine / alcohol as a reaction will occur , now I’ve eaten them many times over the years mainly at midday so havnt drunk beer wine with them app the reaction is not good for you so I guess I been very lucky Edited October 18, 2018 by green lurchers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somebody up the road I know got given a load of mushrooms by a woman he knows, he was bad for a week, recon it was one of them. They don't affect everybody apparently, not giving it a go to find out though. Them "Shaggy Ink Caps" look spot on condition GL still haven't seen any down here. We will be after the "Hedgehog Mushrooms" and the "Winter Chanterelles" now, having a job fitting it in with ferreting at the moment. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
