Well now I'm wondering if you are her. She did mention the medicinal interest but seemed more in favor using lab extracts than the whole mushroom. She told a story of how after eating a mushroom she knew was a quality eating mushroom she had picked, she felt sick afterward and thought maybe it was in her head because she had the no eating mushroom rule. Something to that effect. If you are her, thank you for your book and the talk. Just relaying how I experienced it.

It seemed a bit more than that. She was definitely not into people wild foraging for them, but there also seemed to be underlying fear of using mushrooms as food. Good talk non the less, glad I went.

Had a feed tonight for the first time. Not too bad. They did not make it to favourite status yet though.

Got my copy today, nice book. Went to a book club talk by the authors. I was surprised to learn that they were anti-eating fungi.

For sure. I'll be in this. Happy to send stamp book.

Pretty sure I've seen the wood blewits about. How do you rate them as food? Wiki recons they pretty good.

What are those last pictures of WB?

I'd like some too thanks.

Hello Prioritise I recon I can help you out with this, I'm in tas though so maybe bit costly to get it to you. If nothing closer comes up let me know.

I visited a fella that had a small orchard of them in a backyard on the Tamar river in northern Tasmania fruiting about 15 years ago. I don't know if they grew quality fruit. The trees themselves were fairly small. They were growing like an understory to the surrounding trees, can't remember cleary, but knowing the area were probably wattle and gum trees.

I'll go a couple of boxes if available. I'm in tas too.

Id be into some of both. can only offer money though.

Hello All Can anyone id this mushroom. Picked today in Northern Tasmania. They are known as edible locally and I have eaten them in past years, it has a slight anise taste to me but other than that fairly plain. Grows in open pasture and semi shade amongst grass.

Yes it does have slight yellow on the cap. As far as eating quality goes, I don't find it disagreeable, but it does not excite me that much. Thanks Waterboy.

OK, good one, filed away.

Ah ok, thanks for that. No unpleasant smell with this one. How did you pick it as a Agaricus species?

Sounds interesting, I'll throw in for it too.

For sure 3

May sounds good. I'm North.

Any idea when that is likely to be? I would like to do a course with you.

Any plans to do one in Tas.?
