We love wild mushrooms. :D

Opps I posted this once under lazy ace...forgot he was logged in.

Anyway, Jingles...

We have 100's in our yard and pasture. If you'll tell me/show me which ones are safe, I'll glad cut and send you some.

What you do is pick them cook them and eat them. If they are the right ones, you will live and enjoy them.

If they are the wrong ones.......

:wink:

Guess I've always eaten the right ones.

Dad showed me the difference between mushroom and toad stools many, many years ago. the really don't look that much alike, in these parts.

Mushrooms are usually flatter and white.

Toadstools are smaller and have a very pointed top and are more brownish.

Just got done eating these. Cooked most in butter, a few in wine. Butter was better. :)

Put a bunch in some chili I made earlier. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!

:D

By the way, they don't keep well unless you can them. Or maybe dry them. Never had any around long enough to find out! :lol: :lol:

As a matter of interest, do you find wild mushrooms always grow in greater numbers in paddocks where horses have been, and few grow where no equines have grazed for some years? or is this just some African occurance?

Here, I find them where they grow and that might be anywhere. Seem to see them the most in a lighter greenish blue grass that grows in bands. Might be western wheat grass, but I'm not real sure.

Of course, they are easier to see in the shorter grasses and there might be just as many in the taller, but we just don't find them.

Usually find them after rains when it's warm and slightly humid.

Haven't really noticed them too much where the horse are or not, any more of them than anywhere else, anyway.

JB, I haven't noticed any 'shrooms of that quality around here. Saw some of those spindly kind growing up out where I fed some hay last winter.

One year when I moved cattle to my summer pasture in your neck of the woods after a rain there was a bumper crop. My uncle and neighbor picked a better than a 50lb paper salt sack full.

Might be something to the horse pasture thing, they got most of the mushrooms off my neighbor's pasture on that end. And I sure ain't got no horses in my pasture! :D :lol: :wink:

BTW JB, I think your scientific explanation how to distinguish between edible and poison mushrooms is right on the money. To the best of my knowledge I haven't eaten a mushroom that has killed me yet anyway. :roll: :shock: :D :lol: :wink:

PS: Congrats on cranking over the 5K post mark! A guy can sure "waste" a lot of time on here! :wink:

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Apparently, some of us read and some of us post. :wink:

I don't know if we have Morel mushroom or not.

But like John, I've never eaten one that has killed me ye....

I don't tehink they are wet enough for morrells RR.. but I have been wrong before.. We have them, sometimes in huge numbers and it is an annual ritual to hunt the Oak groves looking for them or hunting the hunters who are looking for them while tresspassing.. That, along with wild strawberries and asparagus in the road sides can help keep a family in fresh produce for a good part of the year...

JB I just found these yesterday. Not many popping up around here yet. The brand I picked are RESISTOL, . :roll: Might have to take a road trip to TTB if a bunch more don't start showing up.

An old cowboy taught me how to tell if they're mushrooms years ago when we were rounding up for a branding. He told me his dad taught him, and his dad had taught him.. Then he paused and said with a frown, you know they're both gone now. lol

I usually find the mushrooms on a side hill in a circle. Always a circle. The grass is usually better as they fertilize the ground and our native bluestem usually takes over then.

My spring has 3 seasons, March-April, wild onions
April May, wild asparagus May- June and on thru summer if it rains, the best--- wild mushrooms :wink: [/img]
