If you wake up in a cold sweat shouting up Tipp in a dream let us all know please… I’d want some of them !
I saw this a few days ago. Picture doesn’t do it justice, but it was one angry looking yoke
Hard to know what mushroom it is without seeing underside. Looks to be a bolete.
I can report that lurid boletes fried in butter are perfectly pleasant but not in the ceps league. The lurid boletes have neither the same umami savouriness nor the same intriguing fleshy meatiness as ceps. But delighted to have tried them. I actually picked another half dozen this morning. Would say there is a savage flush of mushrooms coming.
It’s wet enough anyway, but I wouldn’t say there’s much heat in the ground.
Yes, the field mushrooms are taking their time.
Lots of other fungi around.
Another grand lesson here on mushrooms and the importance of knowing what you are at - I suspect the chef here did know what she was at though.
I saw recently quite a few death caps. Plenty of them in Kilkenny Castle Park.
Ive a rake of false chanterelles growing here…on rotting pine wood chip
Would you eat them?
Not on purpose
Perfectly nice fried in butter, on toast, with a glass of sherry. But not in same flavour league as ceps and field mushrooms, even when picked fresh.
Chanterelles in the wild do smell strongly of apricots, which is delightful.
Not to be recommended. False chanterelles would make you badly sick.
Perfectly fine, fried in butter, on toast but without a particularly strong flavour. Kept texture well. Inoffensive, I would say, and probably best in a pasta dish with cream. Delighted to have tried them fresh – another box ticked – but not one of the great mushrooms.
Not sure why I am being flagged with this story again…
All good here in an overcast Kilkenny. Had a lurid bolete omelette for breakfast. Will probably go mushroom hunting again tomorrow.
Ah just an interesting story related to poisonous wild mushrooms and a suspected murder. PBH had an Australian journalist on the radio there about it.
Didn’t realise it had been posted before.
