you might have gotten sick last time if some of what you found were the 'black' 'false' morel. they don't make everyone sick but i know they can make some people sick. apparently it is a little hard to tell the difference sometimes because the black is light.

I, too, would grow mushrooms, but I'm scared to order the kind that I want over the internet.

Matsutakes! Most of them are probably too big to be delicious.




Best Chanterelle season in over 10 years:

What kind of mushrooms?

11/7/2010 10:03:36 PM

^ The white ones are matsutakes - popular in Japanese dishes


The orange ones are chanterelles, great in eggs, but not too flavorful.

I know it's a year old but for future reference shop them up to make broth and they're tasty.

Glad this thread was bttt.

So about this time last year I was offered to buy chicken mushrooms at the farmers market for $5 a large cap.



So the reason I did not buy them is the woman said she found them growing in poison ivy. Is this normal and how do you not get poison ivy all in your digestive tract?

Yeah I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with eating mushrooms growing in poison ivy.

9/9/2011 12:19:27 PM

i dont know how comfortable i'd be in general eating a mushroom im not familiar with thta someone's pushing to me at a market

"yeah man i found these mushrooms... you should eat them"

9/9/2011 1:24:56 PM

Lol yeah there's that too. I'm kind of surprised they're allowed to sell foraged foods at the farmers market.
