RE: Forest Mushrooms for Fungi Friday

in FungiFriday15 days ago

Those white ones look like peppery lactarius aka Lactarius piperatus. And guess what they are edible and easy to figure out. Just take a tiny taste test and if it burns the heck out of your tongue its a piperatus. Or if you want to take a step before the nibble test just cut the gills and if milk comes out its at least in the lactarius family and not deadly poisonous. I usually dry these and use the powder as a spice, it tastes just like black pepper.

Fair play to you using things like mushrooms that occur naturally. As a society, it's something we could all approve upon in my opinion.

Wisconsin is one of the best places to mushroom hunt. It has double the mushrooms that us FIBs have lol. Though I would probably avoid any found on golf courses since they use heavy duty pesticides there and mushrooms tend to absorb alot of them.

Good point about golf courses and chemicals. Definitely a reason not to eat them.
