I wonder how many humans have died all throughout history from eating bad mushrooms before we knew which ones were safe? Hell people are still dying from eating bad mushrooms.

>>16982434
why is that knife so tiny? don't tell me there's a musroom unitasker, why the fuck wouldn't you just use a petty knife

Gotta fry down the shrooms a bit.

Just added the garlic and onion.

>>16982533
it's a master forged, but ultra small mushroom knife.

>>16982486
most all of 'em are safe, the deadly poisonous ones in north america are all easily identified

>>16982636
but what's the point in a mushroom knife, why not just an all-purpose petty?

>>16982649
Why not though? Actually I usually use a small Mora knife in the woods.

>>16982486
I think about this every time a mushroom thread is posted.

Asparagus and smoked salt in.

>>16982593
What are you frying them in? Olive oil?

Almost forgot capers.

>>16982675
Plus butter.

>>16982646
Well that's 100% not true. Do not listen to this idiot.

>>16982434
>tfw no lions mane in stores
>tfw no woods to inna and pick some
>growing mushrooms is illegal here
is powdered lions mane just as tasty?

BTW I gathered the shrooms today with my wife and we grew the onions and garlic,

>>16982690
Why both and not just the one? Does it help with the cooking process or is it just for flavour?

Ate a bunch of these tiny fuckers this late summer/early fall.

A PSA to anyone looking to eat wild mushrooms, fucking don't unless you know what you're doing. Also you don't need to be a Ruski to go mushroom hunting, but it certainly helps.

>>16982709
my wife doesn't eat ham or pork so i make due by using butter plus smoked salt

>>16982691
If you stay away from Amanita, Gallerina and other LBMs you’re basically okay. This isn’t to say you should eat what you don’t 100% know but the idea that mushroom hunting is mysterious and fraught with danger is false. Basic precautions are necessary. You won’t eat yew berries but you will eat Rubus berries. Same thing.

Uh oh, a large lump of butter fell in.

>>16982715
That’s funny my wife eats pork but not ham.

>>16982733
is your wife jewish?

>>16982724
That still doesn't make most mushrooms edible and while that might not be entirely inaccurate advice, you're still relying on people to be able to tell some species of mushroom vs others including a ton of very similar looking mushrooms.
There's a reason why mycology is a whole fucking thing and why general folk knowledge is to not eat anything you're not familiar with. If you wanna just yolo it, go ahead but know that there's a risk that you'll join the millions that have done the same thing and fucking died.
With that said, you can safely handle even the most poisonous mushrooms unless you're maybe deathly ill and even taste them as long as you spit them out.

>>16982781
Most mushrooms are edible. Something like 90% of species won't cause a stomach ache or do anything. A few will cause you to get the runs or throw up. A few others might have more serious consequences but you can count them on two hands for all of north america

>>16982768
she probably just has good taste, ham is mad boring

>>16982781
I never implied or stated most of what you said. But anon was correct when he said that the deadly species are easily identified, and for those that are not, like the LBMs, you just stay away from. It’s pretty easy to safely pick half a dozen easily identifiable, popular mushrooms no different than picking edible mushrooms. Yes some people will eat Omphalotus olearius think they are chanterelles but this is woeful ignorance and not worth really discussing. Most mushrooms will at most give you GI upset and a select few will do worse. Again not advocating eating random mushrooms but lets drop the mycophobia especially when there are plenty of poisonous ornamental plants in our gardens and no one freaks out.

And no, millions have not died from mushrooms.

>>16982768
I’m being facetious. Ham is pork.

Uh oh in another pan is a Brie thsat is 3 months past it’s use by date and some cream for an sauce.

>>16982781

Please stop. This is legitimately misinformation that could get people seriously ill and I don't appreciate it.

>>16982849
almost all are, read a book nigger

>>16982848
>Sliced NY strip tossed in Brick cap, Wood ear, and crown tipped coral mushroom sauce.

I love foraging and making dishes.

>>16982856
Factually incorrect and I have a field guide to my right and a few other mushroom books in the bedroom next door.
Chud less next time, you dumb retard.

>>16982874
i have mushrooms demystified in my brain

let's go

you and me

>>16982881
>>16982874
Quit fighting and rate my contributions to the thread.

>>16982874
The edibility of most mushrooms is unknown and relatively very few are known to be poisonous, and of these even fewer are actually deadly or seriously toxic. Most are unknown or unpalatable.

>>16982874
don't be a mycophobe you little bitch

>>16982881
Why would I? I have one right here, nerd.
>>16982887
What contributions?

>>16982889
>unknown or are unpalatable
Gee, I wonder if people on a cooking board would like to eat some unknown or unpalatable mushrooms. It's almost like edible means something in the context of food and there are a lot of mushrooms that might make you sick or downright hurt you.

>>16982889
I ate a bunch of coral clubs on two occasions, it was fine. Second time I candied them.

>>16982906
read it

it's not even cracked open

>>16982906
Here
>>16982861
>>16982848

This is black staining polypore I found earlier this summer

>>16982920
Your are suggesting most mushrooms are toxic and this is false.

>there are a lot of mushrooms that might make you sick or downright hurt you.
There are also plenty of plants that can make you sick and kill you, but we’re not terrified of them are we? Avoid Amanita and LBMs and stick to the popular dozen and you have very little to worry about. Considering how many people go mushroom hunting, especially moron amateurs looking for a new COVID hobby, there are very few serious poisoning cases.

>>16982930
Forgot pic

Chantrelles

Hey look at that found a little bookmark I must have forgotten about a while ago.
>>16982930
Oh yeah I'm familiar with some of those and if you've cleared and ate them and are alright then that looks fucking good, so good job. You're probably a better forager than I am and I salute you and can probably learn some things from you. I'm just an amateur at this. I'd eat those/10.
>>16982933
No, I'm saying that telling the general public that probably don't know mushrooms that most mushrooms are edible is dangerous and retarded. Fuck off.

>>16982937
you didn't eat that did you

>>16982950
Reeeeee, forgot pic again

>>16982958
Dope. They call them little foxes in Russian.
Lisichki or лиcички.

Inky cap aka tipplers bane
>>16982956
Yes. It's black staining polypore. Not black footed polypore if that's what you're thinking.

>>16982593
what kind of mushrooms are those?

>>16982965
hm did it stain blue at all?

>>16982969
mostly hedgehogs and a few chantrelles and enoki

Chicken of the Woods nuggets
>>16982971
No. What do you think it is? I ate it and lived. No problems. My friends were fine too.

Dryad saddle aka pheasant back. Makes good candy but you need to find it young.

>>16982977
Very nice. Did you harvest those or are they store bought?
>>16982983
Dope. That's a plump looking COTW.

Man, I love this shit, I get excited for others finding and eating these things. Have they just infected my brain and am I just propagating their will? Do I get any super powers out of this?
>>16982987
That's wild looking. What do you mean candy, like dried?

>ground lamb and lions mane
Lamb and mushrooms is one of my favorites. Butter, garlic, onion, shrooms, a little stock (usually beef) ad a carb to serve it on.

>>16982953
I’m not telling the general public I’m having a discussion in a mushroom thread on a cooking message board.

I am an actually mycologist and contact for my regional poison control. I never advocate foraging if you don’t know what you’re doing but I don’t try to scare people either.

>>16982977
nice, i thought so. i had some sautéed hedgehogs for dinner myself

Wook ears over thai noodles
>>16982999
If you smell it it's exactly like watermelon rind. You can candy coat it like you would a nut (i assume, never candied nuts). Look up a candied mushroom recipe (I'm lazy and ask the internet for recipes sometimes)

>CotW cluster
I found at least 20 lbs this summer alone, have 3.5 lbs trimmed in my fridge still and another 3 lbs for soup.

>>16983024
I have to stop forgetting the pic....

>>16983016
That's really interesting, I will look it up, thanks dude.

>>16983028
mmmm sulfur shelf

>>16982999
checked all harvested from the state park

>>16983015
love those hogs

i cook them kinda slow dry until they sweat and only then add butter

>>16982697
Why the hell is it forbidden to grow mushrooms in your country?

>>16982697
I doubt it. Buy a grow bag online and do whatever the fuck you want.

>>16982856
You’re actually wrong. Mycotoxins are not something to fuck around with. You should not default to eating all mushrooms you see. You should select for easily identifiable families with few toxic lookalikes. In my area there are boletes that have toxic lookalikes that a mycologists with a microscope would have trouble identifying. You’re just fucking wrong. If you’re going for the “let’s make homemade chlorine gas” meme then you can do it on /lgbt/

>>16982715
>make due

>>16982715
you gota a qt muslim wife?

>>16982621
>>16982667
>Mushrooms then onions
either you overcooked you mushrooms or you undercooked the onions

>>16982486
>Acquire slaves
>Make them eat mushrooms
>Document which ones kill
Easy

>>16986312
>overcooked mushrooms
This does not exist, moron.

>>16986312
wrong, you clearly never gather mushrooms

Found these beauties a few weeks back. Sauteed with some butter and garlic.

>>16984304
some archaic law because of psilocybin that blanket covers all mushrooms

>>16982697
What country do you live in where growing any mushroom is illegal? What a nightmare place.

>>16982697
The Jew fears the private mushroom cultivator. Grow your own and prosper, anon

>>16982874
look at this Alpha Male pictured here

>>16982434
worm fungus. enjoy your parasitic infestations and resulting cerebral coup

>>16982709
not him but i heard mixing a little olive oil with your butter keeps it from burning

>>16982699
>>16982434
Where do you live? I want to find chanterelles before the inevitable freeze kills them. Haven't had any luck yet.

>>16987983
*ends their season

Remember, there’s only one simple rule of mushroom picking.

If it’s brown, chow down! If it’s white, say goodnight!

>>16988001
Those kinda looks like jew's ears mushrooms. Actually looks like brown cabbage.

>>16983012
That's not what I meant and this just shows your poor communication skills. You might very well be a mycologist, and I agree that people shouldn't be scared of mushrooms, but the way you're approaching educating an average person is probably flawed and a bit irresponsible. Best of luck.
>>16988001
This is probably intentionally bad advice. Don't do this.

>>16987983
>Where do you live?
Coastal PNW, on a mountain.

CRAP, I FORGOT TO GO PICK THE BOLETES SHIT FUCK THE HIPSTERS HAVE PROBABLY GOTTEN TO THEM BY NOW

>>16986840
Overcooked mushrooms are very much extant

FUCK I WANT TO GO PICK THEM BUT IT'S DARK AND RAINING AND THE FOREST IS RIGHT NEXT TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND I'M DRUNK AND I HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD AAAAAAAAAAA

>>16988033
That's the worst case of eczema I've ever seen.

>>16982593
>>16982675
>>16982690
noooo u should never fry them in something. first u have to fry them in a dry pan to let the water out, when they lose the water u should put in the butter and they suck up the butter and be tasier :)

Anyone know what this is?

>>16982486
or you could just feed a pig 20 mushrooms and see results

>>16989136
cool ranch

>>16982486
Many fungi are edible, just not particularly palatable. Quite a few others will just make you vomit and/or give you the shits. Some rare ones are indeed poisonous, and you should look out for those. My dream is to find some fresh Amanita Caesarea one day, but these are rare in my region (but cèpes are plentiful luckily).

>>16982486
Theres a set of steps to check if a food is poisonous or not. I think you first press it against your skin for a minute, if nothing happens you keep it in your mouth for a bit and only then swallow a small amount. After some time if nothing happens its safe to eat.

>>16982486
not as many as some may think
primitive people probably copied animals dietary habits, since we cant digest everything other species can, some people may have gotten ill or die in the worst case but id bet that most discovered something edible

wish i didn't live in an urban niggerhole

>>16982649
You take them with you while foraging to cut mushroom stems

>>16982714
You ate false chanterelles?

>>16982621
>garlic
why?

>>16982838
>>16982838
>garlic, asparagus, capers, cheese
Are you trying to make sure that you won't taste any of the mushrooms you put in there?

>>16988197
is that Mt Hood?

>>16989943
Mount Rainier

>>16989951
noice

>>16982697
Order a kit online and do what the fuck you want. Laws like that should be broken.

>>16989943
Bruh Hood has a very sharp point. How do you fuck that up

>>16989566
That's for plants
Mushrooms are all universally harmless unless swallowed, it's impossible to know otherwise besides identification or actually poisoning yourself
