fungi1963 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I went grocery shopping this weekend in the local forest.Let's just say I am a very happy little vegemite! --- If I only brought more bags I could have filled the back of the car with them!I even had enough time during the hunt to collect my own wild strains of Trametes Versicolor (Turkey Tail mushroom) and get it put down on the agar plate for incubation.I started with some slippery jacks but then said buggar it, I'm all about milk caps today!

singult Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Only two bags? I came back with 8, and pickled a whole jar of Lactarius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Peddler Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 If your looking in those areas keep an eye out for grey knights - Tricholoma terreum - which I think is superior in flavour to both the milk cap and slippery jack group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fungi1963 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I did look at the other mycological flora on the hunt. Only grey's I remember had bloody long stems elevating them well above the forest floor. Caps were dark gray over more than half with the other side light gray (sun induced?). I didn't stop to look too much as I was fighting time with sunset less than 45 minutes away.These saffron's were extremely prolific but were not strong flavoured at all. They weren't bitter but they didn't have the perfumed accents I've gotten from other locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Peddler Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 bummer. I find their smell slightly off putting at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushfun Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Had a feed tonight for the first time. Not too bad. They did not make it to favourite status yet though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fungi1963 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Thank you for the suggestion, I had a look at all images google had indexed for Xerula but couldn't find a match yet. Edited May 23, 2014 by fungi1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
