I have a friend who has friend who knows all about mushrooms, someone who knows not just about cooking them but also about identifying and picking the wild ones. I must say that I am a little envious of this friend of a friends knowledge as I would love to know more about mushrooms, especially which ones are poisonous and which ones are good for use. Imagine my delight when after finding these ones today I chanced upon a talkback show about mushrooms on the Mornington Peninsula, they basically said that you shouldn't leave it to chance and that some training was required for their identification - mushroom school here I come, anyone want to join me?
I see you got your photos Janis! I listened to the same radio show. I've done a mushroom hunt before but am keen to do another. I know they do them at T'Gallant and also Merricks General Store, with mushroom dishes afterward...
ReplyDeleteLovely pics Janis. I'm noticing several different fungi popping up around my garden but er, I think the marshmellow toasting school is more the one for me!!!!!!!
