any mushroom hunters on /ck/?

its gonna be a feast

[Anonymous No.11327962]

Only mushrooms I forage are winter chanterelles/yellowfoot mushrooms. They never have any insects on them, cannot be mixed up with any other mushroom and taste the best in my opinion.

Last mushroom appear here before the winter.
I have foraged kilos of the stuff past weeks from the woods near-by. Dried them, frozen them, and made some sauces of them.

Is that Macrolepiota procera? We call them "Ukonhattu" here. Some people collect them for their taste around here, I have never picked them up though.

yep it is

I like to bread them, fry them and eat with a dip, usually tartar sauce
the small closed ones I like to pickle and jar them

I also will pick these up, if I am able to find them (Black Chanterelle aka Horn of Plenty)

The problem with this mushroom is that it is easy recognize, but in woodland terrain they are practically invisible because how dark they are. I found like 4-6 of these mushrooms during my last trip to forest. Probably there was thousands of more, but way too dark especially in old pine forest.

What are the mushrooms in the first picture? Look kinda disgusting desu with all that greenish stuff going on

[Anonymous No.11328077]

>>11328062
that would be Imleria badia
the yellow pores on the bottom pf the head turn blueish when injured (takes as much as bumping them with a finger) however it does not affect the taste
also you have to consider the ones in the picture are freshly picked, you need to clean them later

This year my backyard has been full of psilocybin aka liberty caps.

Too bad I do not do drugs or psychedelics anymore, in my early 20s I would have picked them up, but I did not even recognize any mushrooms back then. Literally swarms of liberty caps appeared this year.

Kinda strange how much regional difference there is what is edible mushroom and what is not

For example, the Matsutake mushroom is/was considered here in Finland absolute trash-tier mushroom that was not fit for even food as cattle, but the Japanese will be pay even 4000€/kilo at best for this mushroom which is especially sought after. Many people few years back made lots of money by selling this stuff to japanese vendors. Nobody still would pick it up for food around here though.

How do you get into mushroom hunting? I imagine most people learned from their family, especially if they come from a culture that's big on foraging for them.

[Anonymous No.11331499]

This is easily explained because Japs make all forms of excellent cuisine whereas Finns have developed a palate for various forms of rotten fish

The taste is similar to how dog shit smells

I have not tasted dog shit, but the taste is similar to what animal feces would probably taste like if the smell would correlate to taste

Toxic mushrooms are pretty uncommon, and as long as you know what you're doing you shouldn't get hurt. At the very least you can avoid species that have toxic lookalikes if you aren't confident.

Some North American variety of Fly Agaric mushroom.

Either Amanita muscaria var. guessowii or Amanita frostiana

Tastes bad, might not kill you, but possible internal organ damage/kidney damage if eaten too much

How is mushrooms foraging any different from foraging berries or other plants from the wild

If you misidentify them (especially during a time of smartphones and internet) then it was natural selection to begin with

too risky imo in the modern day. unless you do this all the time , there are lookalikes that give symptoms of stomach upset from some toxins in them, but the toxins that kill you are symptomless. is it really worth showing your hipster urban-mycophilia to risk amatoxin?

at the bare minimum, no white gilled shrooms at all

You mean no white gilleds from the forest, button mushrooms are the most produced ones in the world.

[Anonymous No.11336055]

>>11336030
>there are lookalikes

If you really know what you are doing, use high resolution pictures from all over internet for reference (These days there are pictures for every stage of growth of the mushrooms, as they do change shape as they get older)

Then you get home, wash them, and again: do a 2nd identification a good light.

If there is even a slight chance you are not absolutely sure what mushroom you are picking up: DO NOT pick it up.

People picked up mushrooms safely even back in the day before smartphones or internet using only pictures found in mushroom books for identification and reference.

Most of the poisonous lookalikes may look similar (or even identical) when gazed from certain angles. When you actually start to inspect the gills and other characteristics the differences will be undeniable.

When I was mushroom gathering with my parents as a kid my mom would make me one of those if we found a good looking one. She'd bread it whole and fry it like a bit schnitzel, the slightly squishy consistency with the crunchy outside is wonderful

Found this on Friday. 99.9% sure it’s Laetiporus cincinnatus, i.e. white chicken of the woods. Could also have been Bondarzewia berkeleyi, but there should be no poisonous lookalikes here in NC either way. Picked about 2 pounds from it, and there was still a good chunk left.
