naja naja Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) Just wondering if any1 has had experience with picing/finding oysters in the S.W. of W.A.? Or anything else edible, for that matter? Last year I found what looked like saffron milk caps Growing from a old pine stump in the middle of a karri forrest, but they did not stain. This year I'll take photo's of every fungus, so hopefully sum1 can help me I.d. a new(for me) edible. Cheers all. :ph34r: Edited May 2, 2006 by naja naja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) that would have been a gymnopilus species common on radiata stumps pleurotus australis is common on dead or injured agonis but only south of mandurah fistulina hepatica on jarrah suillus granulatus and luteus under pine cantharellus under bluegums and other eucs agaricus bitorquis on roadsides and about the place coprinus comatus on rich kikuyu lawns a species not unlike a augustus in parlands in turf morels in woodchipped gardens yeah and a few more Edited April 25, 2006 by Rev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

occidentalis Posted April 25, 2006 cantharellus under bluegums and other eucs Can be found in south coast karri forest. Yum agaricus bitorquis on roadsides and about the place When you pick an agaricus in the field, watch out for yellow staining which suggests A xanthocephala, which causes nausea in some Have fun hunting, I look forward to some good hunts down south I'll do another post of all my finds... if I ever get a f)*(&^ internet connection at my house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) I Just googled for images of that shroom list u posted rev. I'm think the bright yellow shrooms I saw growing out of the old stump may have been these.http://www.duinkerken.nu/paddestoelen/images/Cantharel%20-%20Cantharellus%20cibarius%20-%20300x225.jpg These r pronounced shon-tore-elle rite? I find the sponge mushrooms all the time, they just look so disgusting! I call them custard mushrooms. Is there taste worth getting over that texture? If it wasn't these, I've def seen them b4, cool, just gotta go searching now. Edited April 25, 2006 by naja naja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naja naja Posted May 2, 2006 And I'm pretty sure these r cantharellus? I.D. please. Found in karri litter and on rotten pine branches. m/img.p ANd sum for I.D. shits and giggles!: CHeers all :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted May 2, 2006 well you sure got the suillus anyways its funny how supposedly progressive chefs and personalities are re-discovering this shroom when its always been a second class edible i know several mycologist who sneer at the thought of eating them i thought they are ok in spag bog, or bbqd with noodles a japanese friend they can be susbtitued for nameko in japanese cuisine those red ones down below look like lactarius species Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted May 2, 2006 m/img.p So these arn't cantharellus? They look just like the images I Googled. They printed Brown. And I was just looking in one of my cook books and noticed that the Porcini mushroom seemed to have spong rather than gills. Are these suillus similar to Porcini?

spiders Posted May 3, 2006 Im not good with chanterelles - I didnt even realise they were common to australia until recently... Suillus unless im mistaken is the slippery jack - people eat it but I didnt like the texture and it often give people a bad guts. Procini on the other hand are great - very crisp flavour - goes well in risottos and pasta and soups - almost a nutty kind of flavour - quite nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vapour Posted May 3, 2006 the yellow boletes that don't stain are supposed to be delicious. i came across a polish family last weekend collecting them in a pine plantation near perth - they wash off all the portugese milipedes, boil them, bake them and then string them up to dry and use them as stock and flavouring.

strangebrew Posted May 6, 2006 . Suillus unless im mistaken is the slippery jack - people eat it but I didnt like the texture and it often give people a bad guts.Fairly sure I read that if you want to eat the Slippery Jacks you should peel off the skin as it is this that causes the upsetsLOl Eastern europeans will eat anything Yeah and often die in the process. It's surprising the number of deaths that still occur over there from eating mushrooms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
