im a mushroomlet who's never had these. how do you guys like cooking them?

i would love to go mushroom hunting, i live in virginia beach. how do you find this shit out in the wild?

I eat mushrooms but you do know they're a fungus right? that means they're not plants, nor animals, but more of an malevolent alien life form

>>11631373
Don’t cook liberty caps unless you want to have an interesting 12 hours

I grew up thinking mushrooms were rubbery bullshit because my parents would always buy the sliced brined ones in a glass. Someone at work after I grew up and moved out of the house made me try a raw button mushroom one day and my life was changed for the better.
Annoyingly, anything that isn't button mushrooms/portobellos is pretty expensive here so I still don't have the most interesting ones very often.
I'm thinking a lot of people who don't like mushrooms have just never had a good one. I say the same about fish and organ meats.

raw raw?

Preferably older forest, where there's mostly no grass, but dead leafs. Different types of trees attract different types of shrooms, symbiotic relations are important here. Some of them are typically growing only on dead trees. Go to forest after rains, preferably in the morning, 5-6 am. I don't know how is it in America, but Polish boomers LOVE getting up even on 3-4 am, and PLUnder wHOLe forest. You have to be faster. Don't be a dick, leave smaller shrooms, cut them down without damaging mold in the ground, you can clean up shroom a bit and leave pieces on the ground - it will spread the shroom.

>>11631656
Oh, and the weather should be warm as well, shrooms like it around 20-25 C degrees. Wait for next summer/warm autumn.

>>11631682
hot, humid, go where there's dead shit on the ground. rogered.

How subhuman do you have to be to not like mushrooms?

>>11631717
only children or people with a babby tier palate don't like mushrooms

>>11631264
Anchovies and pineapples are more divisive. Only manchildren think mushrooms are bad

>>11631264
Pic related. Either people thinks this is the literal devil fruit or they worship them

>>11631275

>>11631509
the other poster gave good advice but you also shouldn't do it unless you can be 100% sure with no doubt about what you're potentially going to eat. it's good to go with someone who is already experienced, because you can easily make yourself really sick to the point of hospitalization if you eat the wrong kind of mushroom.

>>11631277
huh?

>>11631264
Cilantro

Cola is more divisive than mushrooms. Not only are there people who love it and people who hate it, but the people who love it fight about WHICH cola it is okay to like. Meanwhile, people who like mushrooms are a peaceful folk who tend to appreciate more than one kind.

>>11631852
That's definitely most important advice, if you don't know the shroom, leave it alone. A lot of shrooms are similar to each other, poisonous to edibles as well. One shitter can destroy kidneys, liver, and leave you hospitalized for the rest of your life. You can buy handy pocket-size books with images and descriptions, those can be incredibly handy.

Chanterelles are my favourite. Boletus edilus is nice too but they aren't as available here.

What do Parasol mushrooms taste like?

toxic but delicious

This one is god-tier. It's Latin name is literally Lactarius Deliciosus. Simplest way to enjoy it is with scrambled eggs. Thinking about soup makes me hungry right now, French onion soup tier. Excellent when marinaded in vinegar. Too bad these cannot stand drying, you have to get them fresh.

>>11631517
It's malevolent to clean up dead stuff? Mushrooms are based.

>>11632044
>you can get high on psylocybin like on LSD and meet aliens!
Degenerate, almost every gravy for dinner back at my home is shroom based. Anglos, if you should use one thing from Polish cuisine, it's the shrooms.

>>11632029
I heard it's an accumulative toxin and it's still eaten by a lot of people.

>>11631656
No one in America goes out harvesting mushrooms in the woods, at least outside of the most rural of areas. We also have a higher proportion of deadly and dangerous mushrooms compared to Europe, so it makes sense.

>>11631312
Oh man, i remember. This shit grew on my parents lawn, the lawn goes uphill with a giant oak?? In the middle. Strange though doesn't it grow in the tree's wounds?

In any case should've picked that shit but i didn't had a guide back then and me mum thought it was some kind of food thrown in the lawn.

>>11631264
Yea, meat. Both vegans and omnivores eat shrooms, veggies, but not meat. It's another question that there are people in both groups who like or dislike shrooms.

>>11632278
>No one in America goes out harvesting mushrooms in the woods, at least outside of the most rural of areas.
But that's wrong
t. suburbanite who goes mushroom hunting

>>11631275
My favourite is Boletus edulis, so many uses, when they are young and small you can slice them thinly and make a delicious salad with just a little oil, salt and some Grana Padano flakes, when mature you can use them for a myriad of things, although in pasta or fried with a light breading they are always great. Then I'd go with Amanita Cesarea, always fantastic in a salad and very good in Polenta. Aside from these for me it's more common to find chanterelles, pleorotus and psalliota campestris, of these last two there is so much they usually end preserved in oil.

What do I look for if I'm looking for something less tasty and more 'enlightening'?

>>11633310
A few of these should do the trick.

>>11632136
I haven't heard its accumulative toxin and I'm fine eating it.
It tastes very good.

>A 1971 Polish study reported at the time that the species accounted for up to 23% of mushroom fatalities each year.[29] Death rates have dropped since the mid-twentieth century; in Sweden poisoning is common, though life-threatening poisonings have not been detected and there was no fatality reported over the 50 years from 1952 to 2002.[30] Gyromitra poisonings are rare in Spain, due to the widespread practice of drying the mushrooms before preparation and consumption,[31] but has a mortality rate of about 25%.[32]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyromitra_esculenta

I wouldn't eat those

>>11631275
>no one's posted chanterelles yet
I'm surrounded by tasteless faggots

>>11633430
Theres deaths for people who eat it without proper preparation.
The stuff I've picked and eaten was prepared by boiling in a large pot twice over changing the water in between.

>>11633437
oh shit, i'm sorry; reading the thread is too hard for me

>>11633443

>>11631517
we evolved alongside mushrooms bozo

>>11633310
Cubes are more palatable when dried and eaten in something savory. Egg salad works very well.

>>11633442
I wouldn't feel confortable to eat something that would kill me if prepared wrongly.

>>11631264
Mushrooms aren't divisive.
Either you like them, or you're a child.

>>11633273
obviously he doesn't mean literally no one

>>11633443
sorry for what? our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our mushroom posts, especially since it's such a good mushroom and all

>>11633489

I don't know anyone who either hate or love it!

>>11632278
My family is from just outside a major midwestern city and we have a tradition of going camping and mushroom hunting every year, we cook some of the ones that are only good fresh and dry the rest to give for Christmas gifts

>>11631264
these

>>11631264
probably, yeah

I don't hate them but don't get why so many people love them. To me they have almost no taste and an unpleasing texture.

>>11634649
Why anglos call it "mushroom hunting"? In every other language it's just collecting mushrooms, no hunt. There is even people going "No, it's not picking mushrooms, it's hunting!" It's super autistic.

>>11634762
Because you are literally hunting for mushrooms. Like a treasure hunt.

>>11632004
I can't rly describe it (shit english, sorry), but they are great. Just coat them in flour or bread crumbs and fry as you fried patty. Delicious.

Forgot to post that I meant fully spread caps only. Legs or young mushrooms of this kind should be prepared in different way (shroom soup might be good, I guess, not sure here, tho).

>>11631264
Flesh is right up there with it.

>>11635160
nah, being that picky is pretty uncommon

>>11631522
Please elaborate

>>11635172
Whoops. I misread "divisive" as "diversive", which apparently isn't actually an English word. Good old English and its literal clusterfuck of conjugation rules.

Lactarius indigo isn't quite as tasty, but is very fun because of the color.

>>11632278
Just because you don't, doesn't mean that nobody does. Eat shit.

>>11633310
A dealer. Don't pick your own if you have no idea what to look for already. It's not a beginner genus at all, and identification is actually really difficult for Psilocybe/Panaeolus.

I hate that my dad taught me to love morels. but only has one spot to hunt them, and it was a mental hospital dump spot 60 years ago. and the morels are so small they can hardly be seen on your hands and knees. I usually spend most of my time hunting old medical bottles. I go years where I don't find 8 like in that pic.
but last year I finally found a spot that is loaded with the "dog pecker" variety SCORE!! they might not be white/black/greys but they taste almost as good

>>11634762
You have no experience in tracking, do you?

>>11631264
Yes

>>11631292
DUDE SHROOMS LMAO

>>11635178
They're psilocybin mushrooms.

Not liking mushrooms is not possible. Not knowing how to cook them is.
