Wild Mushrooms

Went walking in two coniferous forests yesterday at home. Loads of fly agaric mushrooms. An extraordinary amount of fungi in general.

Edible wise, found half a dozen bay boletes.

Saturday Kitchen Live, its a BBC programme.

He drilled holes in sweet chestnut logs and hammered in dowels that contained whatever makes Shikate mushrooms grow (I’m not sure that spores was the word he used). Then covered the tops of dowels with wax.

Can you post 2 or 3 up to me?

Up for a bit festive pillaging?

If I ate one, I could fly up myself!

His Joe Rogan interview is better.

It is, but some of the more conservative posters can’t deal with the concept of podcasts, foreign food etc

Would you eat them?

Lurid boletes. Apparently delicious – supposed to be nearly as good as ceps. Going to eat them tomorrow. Will report – hopefully.

Got expert advice. Never eat a blue staining bolete until you are a million per cent on it.

Going to eat them, yes. Last few years, I noticed what I now know are lurid boletes growing in particular spots on grass verges on the way into my estate. So I said to myself: ‘Must research these lads.’

Hopefully I will be around to make a post on Monday.
