/ck/ - Food & Cooking

start by googling what kind of mushrooms live in your specific area. like the county or city you live in.

then identify what they are.

alternatively, eat them raw and die.

remove stems. add on pizza or cook lightly with olive oil and seasoning.

Looks like umbrella mushroom, but they have inedible twins

>>6999881

dude I know what those are, I've been picking forest mushrooms since I was a kid
just wondering if anyone has some recipe ideas

>>6999893
I don't and you haven't told us so what the fuck do you want from us? Not all mushrooms are the same.

Make mushroom ice cream bitch nigga. DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS

>>6999893

For anyone wondering, these are the mushrooms

It's their season and it rained on monday so the harvest was great, I brought home like 4 basket-fulls.

I second the mushroom ice cream idea. DO IT. SAVORY ICE CREAM!

Do you have a deep friar? Flour, egg wash, bread crumbs.

>tfw have to have a license to pick fungi in the UK.

And no this isn't a meme.

Just decided to coat them in breadcrumbs and I'll fry them.

surely this applies only in specific regions such as national parks, right?

Done!

Serve with Tatar Sauce. So delicious.

I would normally eat them with baked potatoes but I'm too lazy to prepare those right now tbh.

>Serve with Tartar Sauce

>>7000412

See you in 3 days, OP.

My grandfather used to pick these mushrooms and make the same dish out of them. Are you Polish?

>>7000581

Slovakian. Close enough I guess.

Mushroom hunting is pretty common activity in Slaviccountries. As I've said earlier in the thread I've been picking mushrooms with my granparents since childhood.
You usually take your family drive to the woods and make a family trip out of it.

Ever find any good psychedelic shrooms?

>>7000771
I went mushroom picking just this past weekend. The biggest one I found was almost exactly 1 pound. I guess you guys in Europe don't get ones as big any more cause people pick too much.

>>6999881
>Google "mushrooms by region"
>its just links to hippies getting high off shrooms

>>7000827
they can get pretty big

>>7000827
Big ones are old and taste bad or full of worms. It's better to take a bunch of small ones.

>>7001044
for you

If I took that cap off would it die?

>>7001609

>>6999878
Throw them in the garbage and get a good vegetable.

OP here

i'm kill

>>6999878
They look like parasol mushrooms op. The way to check if they're the legit stuff is to try to move the ring around the stem. It should be free moving, as in you can slide it up and down without having to tear it first. If it doesn't do that, it's the parasol inedible twin and it will give you indigestion.

If they are parasols, my favourite way of cooking them is whole (without the stem, which is usually quite woody) deep fried in a light batter.

Dude are you mad? which part of the UK do you live in that you believe in such nonsense? I've been picking mushrooms left and right no problem, and this is in Kent, where we even have the stupid Winnie the Pooh forest and other such "areas of outstanding natural awesomeness" that supposedly need protecting.
Man up and do your own thing, there's no CCTV in the forest.

>>7002405
Cant believe it took so long for this suggestion. Thats the only reason I came here. Personally I would use garlic instead of onion. Also quite a few herbs can work in saute mushrooms. Thyme goes well, but so does parsley, a little tarragon or some chervil.

Adding a little crisp pancetta also goes nicely. Bake it between two oven trays and it stays flat and goes crisp. But the mushrooms are the main event here so dont need too much.

>>7001615
lmao

>>7004309

>>6999878

>>6999878
>picking mushroom yourself
>eating it too
could kill you after hours of extreme pain.

>>7005995
only if you're a moron.
like you.

Is being paranoid about wild mushrooms an American thing?

>>7000246
Only if you're picking them commercially, moron.

>>6999896
that would be dank tho tbh fam, saute the mushrooms in a pan with bananas and with coconut oil and a hint of lemon and sage, dice them up and throw them in a homemade ice cream accented with wintergreen

>>7006289
It's a common sense thing
you shouldn't eat mushrooms found in the forest unless you know that they are edible
Meaning you have to have had some training to know so
Meaning an amateur shouldn't do it by himself

We assume that OP is an amateur because why would someone who knows which mushrooms are safe to eat not know how to cook them?

>>7000412
Breaded & fried porcini + sauce tartare is pretty common where I live.

>>6999878
throw them away, they have trichinosis
