Mushrooms (!) NGC
« on: December 12, 2015, 10:09:55 AM »
So, I'm looking out my bedroom window this morning, and see some mushrooms growing. This is *kind of* unusual for the middle of December in Indiana.  :smiley: "Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire, mushrooms growing in the yard" doesn't sound real Christmassy.
Didn't even wear a jacket to the grocery store. (!) I just may have to get the Aero Lario out and waste some Stabil..
Oh. I *think* they're edible. I *think* they are "deer mushrooms." I don't think I'll find out, though.

if you have pets, watch them carefully. better yet remove the shrooms and throw them away.

  When I moved to PA the wife got interested in mushrooms.  After researching and reading this book on wild 'shrooms we walked along the AT and found some likely candidates, picked them and went back home and fried them up in butter and a little garlic. I decided to take it slow and took a tiny first taste.  I am glad I did not swallow, these things tasted like battery acid.  She laughed like hell, got a sick sense of humor.  I threw the book away.

Don't quote me, and at your own risk, but I think the rule of thumb with mushrooms is that they've been nibbled by an animal or something, then they are safe to eat. However, I wonder about mushrooms growing in my yard too, but have never had it in me enough to try them out...

No kidding!  I remember reading about some folks that immigrated to Ohio from Viet Nam several years ago, and thought they'd found a variety of mushroom that was identical to one in their native land.  Not!  Several of them died after eating them.  I think it  was renal failure that took them out.

Once, while living amongst the Saami, his hosts started feeding reindeer with fly-agarics, which the deer consumed with some relish. Waiting for nature to take its course, the fruits of micturition were collected in a bucket (strapped to the animals' flanks perhaps?), boiled up in a pot (I'm guessing to concentrate the brew or perhaps to make it more potable) and shared round.

"I don't drink and I've never taken any drugs" he told me. "But I took some when they passed it round. Well, you have to, don't you? They expect it. Anyway, I was high as a kite I was, high as a kite. There was an old eighty year old grandmother with us, and I fancied her, that's how high I was. High as a bloody kite!"

Filip Johann von Strahlenberg, a Swedish prisoner of war in the early eighteenth century, reported seeing Koryak tribespeople waiting outside huts where mushroom sessions were taking place, waiting for people to come out and urinate. When they did, the warm, steaming tawny-gold nectar was collected in wooden bowls and greedily gulped down. The Amanita muscaria effect could apparently be recycled up to five times in this manner, and, remarkably, was less likely to cause the vomiting often associated with the direct ingestion of the mushroom itself.

Be very careful eating wild shrooms.  You need to be 100% sure, I have had some a few times, never the hailed Morel, but some more mundane, and they were quite good.

But if you screw up, it can be an excruciating painful way to die...

If you are not sure , just buy some Portobellos, marinate in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and grill them. Vegans in this neck of the wood get routinely fleeced to enjoy those in hipster joints....

The Missouri conservation 'shroom guide has a bunch more too see. Personally, I wouldn't eat one either, but I WILL eat the chicken of the woods and morels NO PROBLEM!

I took this picture in Mark Twain National Forest on a ride a couple of years ago. Super poisonous but cool to look at.

Look to me like "little brown mushrooms."  They're big enough that you wouldn't have to go right there in the key, but you'd end up there sooner or later anyway.

In the more formal taxonomy they look a bit to me like the common "fairy ring" mushroom, Marasmius oreades, probably the number one LBM.

Mild winter so far, eh?
