Cool kings

If you harvest by cutting or pinching off the stem, you'll disturb less mycelium and get less dirt on your haul.

Fair enough. Stomping around their patch is probably more than pulling up the whole shroom. But for dirt, like lots of things, prevention beats cure.

The first one is pretty old and starting to fall apart. Something gilled (the ribs under the cap). Could be another amanita.

The second one is some variety of bolete. You can tell since it has pores (the foam under the cap). A lot of these are edible or at least won't hurt you much.

The third is an amanita. A lot of these are quite poisonous. The red one in Mario (amanita muscaria) you can hallucinate with, but you get liver damage or something. The destroying angel is pretty metal

Hmm, apparently the liver damage thing might be a myth. Might have to try smashing some Goombas next summer

One time we were biking around in the woods and there were a bunch of nice boletes and we were filling whatever little carrying capacity we had. We stopped at some cabins to hit them up for water. It was people on vacation, making steaks. We were all, you know what would go great with those? Wild mushrooms! They seemed dubious but possibly convinced. I still wonder if they went for it, based on some random kids on bikes advice.

Good stuff yo. Someone gave me some wine caps they grew in their yard. They had a pretty massive amount of food for the size of their little patch.

extra stout posted:

How did you cook them and how did they taste? Those are still on my to try list. Also I give up at effort posting for a while, you should post some pictures of them good eatin' mushrooms, fella

Hey, it takes effort to find relevant Magic The Gathering art :P This was a couple summers ago, so no pics. I'm sure I tried them fried up in butter salt and pepper. Always got to start there, to compare to everybody else on the baseline. I think maybe we made a soup. Pretty tasty, like a portabella but more delicate or something

Personally anything with gills I don't trust myself to identify, with a couple exceptions where they're very distinct (chanterelles, shaggy mane). Morels, boletes, puffballs, chicken of the woods, these guys are much more straight forward.
