Raw or simply cooked it can be very toxic, even deadly when enough is consumed... Morel WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM If you are very lucky, you will find this far from common, excellent tasting mushroom in Spring. All Morels must be well cooked before consumption. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the false has a different internal structure, not completely hollow, pretty sure these are the real thing but they are too far gone for eating anyways. Just nice to see them in the garden 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 After that rain the Fungi have started early this year. Had some Cep's two days ago so went this morning only had three Cep's but good signs of other Fungi. Cep. Got caught out by one of these couple years ago thought it was a Butter Bolete they grow in the same spot every year. Didn't cut Blue no Red on it was not bitter when I licked it, but it tasted horrible. After some research its a iodine Bolete. Pretty sure this is a Scarletina Bolete and if it is then you can eat it. But it breaks all the rules " If it has red on it and if it is cut and go's Blue leave it. Not for a novice so I leave.

Tasted great. Guessing the difference is tan caps and yellow stalks. . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
