Howdy All,

I've been mushroom hunting a lot this year. Here's a thread dedicated to what I've found so far.

Lobster Mushrooms

(Hypomyces lactifluorum)

This is a parasitic fungus that grows on other mushrooms, primarily Lactarious sp. and Russula sp. It renders them edible and delicious.

Very firm texture, similar to dried tofu. Tastes like seafood. Lobster is a very suiting name because of the color and taste.

Oyster Mushrooms

Pleurotus spp. (most likely Pleurotus populinus as they were found on an Aspen stump)

Aspen Bolete

not a true bolete, rather a Leccium. Be careful with these, there are some look-a-likes that'll make you sick.

(Leccinum insigne)

not edible ;)

I call wrong, and I am not messing with the rules. There is traditional ways of preparing them, at least around here, that takes "poisonous" psychoactive and "sick-all-over-the-place" properties from Amanitas and turns them in a tasty dish resembling champinongs.

The basic idea is: Most of the nasties are water soluble and concentrated in the top skin. With that knowledge its easy to come up with ways of preparation, otherwise theres is many recipes mainly from the area around Hamburg where they also make Amanita beer.

:)

(And depending on the definition of "edible" its edible either way as there is no way it could be deadly, you'd need stupid amounts and would probably end up trying to make vomitting and eating happen at the same time and with progressing intoxiation youd probably forget what you are doing or why you are doing it anyways. So even in highly theoretical scenarios its rather self limiting, not deadly.) :D Nice harvests all thread long !

They are all very nice - the muskies are my favorite "non-edible"

There was a young lass from Madras
Who had a magnificent ass
It was not round and pink
as you might think
But had ears and a tail, and ate grass.

Indeed, hence the ";)" David Arora is currently writing a new definition of "edible" and going through various species that can be boiled to become edible.
