For me it's the McChicken

Do you have any idea how to sell foraged mushrooms? I like to go innawoods and want to get into it but don’t know how.

>>13022760
Yeah, just go about to the back entrance of any fancier restaurants in your town and ask whoever’s out there on smoke break to let you talk to the sous.

Once you establish some relationships you can just call. But the market gets flooded FAST in mushroom season. So you kinda gotta be selling the stuff that is just starting to pop up. Right now in the PNW that would be pine mushrooms. Chanterelles are totally flooded.

Good to know, thanks

Great, now I miss the Anon with the irrational fear of mushrooms invading people's minds with their spores.

Any idea what this is? I think it's not an oyster mushroom because there's no gills but what is it?

Go back to >>>//r/eddit if you dislike the inability to create "subs" so much. 4chan is designed to prevent circle-jerk communities

When you were first starting out, did you have any fears of encountering poisonous mushrooms and if so, how did you alleviate these fears?

>>13023194
This also

>>13023196
Damn, I should have used the word 'assuage' instead of 'alleviate'.

>>13023196
Not OP but I started with super easy to identify ones like chicken of the woods as well as double and triple checking. Then eat a small amount the first time.

>>13023186
Jannies banned me last time, said all mushroom posts should be in a mushroom general. Take it up with the fucking jannies man.

>>13023194
Don’t know, sorry. Not something I see in PNW

>>13023199
Ramaria sp. most are edible, some cause gastrointestinal upset. Very difficult to ID to exact species so I don’t bother personally.

>>13023196
Look up the list of actual poisonous mushrooms. It’s relatively short. It’s easier to learn those than everything else. Also, learn some easy ones like the other guy said: Chanterelles, chicken of the woods, cauliflower, hen of the woods, etc. If you tell me roughly where you live I can give you a more tailored noob list.

I found this bad boy while walking my dog a few weeks ago. Took it home and sautéed it with some garlic, added a teriyaki glaze and had a great dinner. It’s very similar to tofu.
Finding and cooking it made me really interested in mushroom foraging.

>>13022751
where do you shop for decent mushrooms? i can only find the basic crimini/shiitake stuff and such in supermarkets, even whole paycheck. i've never seen a maitake, trumpet, oyster or chanterelle for sale. wild ones aren't an option where i live

>irrational

stop talking about mushrooms and dont trust mushrooms

>>13024348
i trust you :)

>>13024207
Nice! Here's a couple I found last year. It's a great mushroom to start out with.

>>13024594
Elm Oyster season should be starting here soon and that's what I'm most excited for.

>>13024598
Yuuuuum

I am not a mycologist.

A coral mushroom, probably under the genus Ramaria:

If you're on the West Coast, it may be Ramaria acrisiccescens (pic related). This was the only one I saw with the bulbous tops.

Probably the Black Staining Polypore. You can tell by following the below:

something you may not have thought of before. cut into bite-size pieces. toss in powdered sugar. Wait a few minutes. The sugar will begin to dissolve the surface of the mushroom. Coat in panko breadcrumbs and fry. and pinch of salt.

Can't remember how on earth I discovered this, but it is delicious.

>>13024745
Interesting thanks, I am in Ontario but also those pics were taken a couple weeks back and a fair hike away so likely not worth going back to check for sure.

Here's some lion's mane though.

>>13024776
This sounds very strange but I'm a little intrigued.

I'M SHROOMING AAAAAAAAH

>>13024776
you may have accidentally invented vegan meat candy

I once worked in fine dining restaurant that used powdered mushroom for chocolate coating and gotta say some mushrooms do benefit from sugar

Nice haul.
Got some wild chants from my friend's dad recently. Fried them with a red jalapeno and some garlic and my fuck I've been missing out. It's like they were made of butter.

>>13023228

>>13022751

Just got home with today’s haul. Seems golden chanterelle season is pretty much over. Got some winter chanterelles a few king boletes and a cauliflower. Will post some photos tomorrow.
