I have never gone mushroom hunting, nor is this post about mushroom hunting. But, I have a few pretty cool friends who do indeed hunt for mushrooms, so this post is for you. While enjoying numerous walks through the forest, S and I have stopped to take these pictures just for you! (It was also a really good way to engage K while tramping through the forest, beyond the typical branch/sword play.)
Your challenge, identify each of these species and if appropriate include a recipe! In the comment sections, list the mushroom number, its species/name, and a recipe if you have it…though I don’t think most of what we caught on film would be worth eating. (This of course is open to any reader taking their time to look at all these mushrooms.)
This response was left on my facebook page, but I am opting to include it here:
Wow!.Identifying a mushroom from a picture is dicy at best. But I got a few of them, a couple of Amanita’s, 2 Psychedelics, an Oyster, a clutch of Honeys–will get more when (my wife) helps me with colors–am color blind (she is at the gym). Now you have to match the name with the mushroom—Ha!
I don’t have a clue about identifying mushrooms, so you’d definitely not want to go mushroom hunting with me just in case they turned out to be poisonous and/or magic 😉 They are gorgeous colours though – nice to look at, at least!
Thanks for the comment…you and I are in the same boat with the mushrooms. I choose to stick with the ones already packaged at the grocery store.
