Which edible fungi

[David Humphries]

A fair sized giant puff ball (Calvatia gigantea) that was just destined for the kitchen

Sliced and coated in seasoned egg and flour then sautéed for a french toast kinda deal.........very tasty.

Very nice! One was found nearby last week by some lucky dog walker - Michael and the giant mushroom (From Southend Standard)

I'm new to the whole foraging edibles this year, but yesterday i came across three fungi while walking the dog.

A horse shroom, champignons, and some dodgy yellow stainers that i mistook for young field shrooms... Glad i did the stem check with those yellow buggers

I found a clump of giant puffballs last week , took one to eat , fried a few bits in garlic butter , not a lot of taste to be honest , but wanted to try it , not exciting enough to bother again though !

Brilliant! Really glad this thread has popped up again. Haven't seen it before and was thinking of asking David if it would be OK to include possible edibles on the "Tis the season...." thread.

 

Keen on edibles but haven't found anyone local to bounce the ID's off before eating, just a bit nervous before flashing up the sauté pan!

 

First 2 Bay Bolete?

Then next 3 Shaggy Parasol?

 

Or am I miles out?

Found these last Sunday, convinced myself they were false Chanterelles, now starting to think they may have been the real deal?

First 2 pics look like bay boletes, generally boletus mushrooms are edible unless they're red skinned, I've eaten a fair few, but when I was a greenkeeper, the ones growing under pines, near bunkers were not so good. Found a fair few penny buns too, but never beat the maggots!

 

Second one looks like a shaggy parasol, but double check with a book

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Driving myself insane with the books! Each one appears to contradict the one before or after!

[diervek]

The whole book thing keeps me second guessing myself... The Only guy I know who I'd trust to help me id has moved to Glasgow, 340 miles away
