>There will be people itt prefer to wash the shrooms and not just use clean with a soft brush

Washing mushrooms makes the maggots come out

for me the cheapest shrooms are the best

tinned shrooms, fried in butter then stirred in a bolognese is good.

>>13188409
>makes your soup 100x better
nothin personnel

Explain

>>13188439
Fuck the butter, but definitely put them in your bolognese. I like to add mushrooms, peppers, and onions to add more vegetables to my diet.

Elm oysters are probably my favorite. They have delicious meaty flesh witha taste like oyster mushrooms with a hint of green wood. The best part though is that for a couple months in the fall they are so prolific around here that I can collect pounds if them every day if I go looking.

Chicken of the woods is way up there too, but much rarer around here so it's more of a special treat.

My favorite way of cooking them is just to slice and fry then eat as it's own side dish. But they also go very well added to things as well. I save the stems for soup stock and have made a couple of wicked mushroom soups this year with blends of wild ones.

This was my haul from one mushroom hunt while walking the dog. A whole bunch of oysters, a couple shaggy manes which are almost done for the year and some puffballs. Shaggy manes are decent but cook down to almost nothing and puffballs are similar but with a worse texture. Still tasty though, I used those in a cream sauce and the result was quite good.

nice one. i live in france south east near marseille to give you an idea. we have these of what you call puffballs, do when they dry and you step on them they make some smoke ? no one that i ever know eat those.

ok si picked some chanterelles ( the orange and brown one, they are delicious, a good catch).
then i have what we call sheepfoot, the white one that are flat, delicious also.( Hydnum repandum )

then the brown one are hygrophore or baveux.
and some lactaire sanguin down under but they had some worm so i threw them away.

made an omelette and a frying pan with olive oil fresh thyme that grow literaly everywhrere around here. mushroom make the start of winter feel less depressing.

i guess my climate would compare most to like northen california maybe i dont know

You should clean as you go, it makes cleaning easier later. What’s up with the moss???

>>13189122

the shroom would have fall through the wooden crate so i put moss.

i got too many to clean them as i pick em, i just clean them at home all comfy by the fire place or my mom does it.

now come the time for Lactarius deliciosus my favourite one

>>13189093
Yes those things I described are the same you know as puffballs as well. There are two main types, small ones which are a few centimetres in diameter or giant which can sometimes get as big as a soccer ball. Here are some of the large variety I got last year.

I'm also not surprissed not a lot of people eat them there. As wild mushrooms go I consider them among the least worth picking. The flavour is okay but not great and the texture is very spongy and cooks down to almost nothing.

Bros, I work at a factory for this company here

https://www.mycopia.com/fresh-mushrooms

I'm not advertising, just showing what they have. I can get a huge bag, several pounds of any mushrooms they make there for FREE except the morels. These things retail for huge amounts of money, but they just give it out like candy. If you have any questions you can ask me, all time favorite are the maitakes Never did any scavenging.

>>13188783
And here's my haul from this morning. It's the end of the season and all the ones I've been finding are frozen but they'll still be good once thawed out.

>>13188685
Well they’re not going to drown

What goes well with psilocybin mushrooms?

Lemon juice

You should not eat mushrooms, they are fungus, fungus is jock itch and athletes foot

You eat that?

>>13190484
I got athlete's mouth from sucking toes--don't think I'll avoid a shiitake

I live in Southern California
For the most part, the only mushrooms you can find are poisonous as fuck. Occasionally a random psychonaut finds a nice haul of the magic variety to munch on but that’s not even in the minds of most people. Very dystopian.

>>13189285
I guess you don’t have to grow if they just throw free mushrooms at you... but HAVE you learned about growing mushrooms? That’s my favorite mushroom topic, even more than eating them.

>>13190484
>You should not eat cows, they are animals, animals is dogs and cats
>You eat that?

what am I in for boys

>>13192095
Minor visual hallucinations in line of seeing the lines on your ceiling move and bend for about 30 minutes followed by feeling very sick for four days.

>>13189285
How clean do you keep your mushroom growing stations? I read some mushrooms immediately go to shit if get any germs on it.

How do libs compare to cubes?

Death
of the slow and agonizing variety

>>13188409

>Insect Eggs and Maggots. Canned mushrooms are a good place to find maggots. If there are "over 20 or more maggots of any size per 100 grams of drained mushrooms" or "five or more maggots two millimeters or longer per 100 grams," the FDA will pay attention. Otherwise, eat up.

>>13189294
Watch out, some mushrooms may be unedible after going through freezing, I've read an article about it so it must certainly be true.

>>13193181
those are the best deaths

>>13190624
I have never grown them outside of work, but at work it's just perfectly ground and dampened meal that the spores are grown on. I would like to grow morels, they are worth a lot, delicious and very in demand.

>>13192953
Real clean, everything is put into what is basically an autoclave and we also use some kind of alcohol to wash things down. The place smells clean and everything is a sheer surface so there isn't any place missing getting washed. We also have to wear hair nets and doctor looking uniforms and masks

>>13194130
>some kind of alcohol
Do you know what kind exactly?

>>13188409
Im not into mushrooms at all. but i found this in my backyard the other day, its a decent size i think. What do yall think? i dont plan to eat it and i dont know what kind it is.

>>13188409
How do you even get started on foraging mushrooms? Is there some sort of guide everyone uses?

>>13196508
Idk, but I'm reading Anna Karenin right now and just finished a section where even children went mushroom hunting in 1800's Russia.

>>13196508
This.
I'm in central Europe, is November even a good time to start? I can imagine the most popular fungi are late summer.
