People near me ended up with Kidney failure eat something when holidaying in Scotland, Think he was a author of the House Whisper. If your not 100% don't eat it. Cheers Arry No worries there … After the smell and taste of mushroom tea mate and the gurgling guts ( the effects were banging ) … I pick ‘em off my pizza now #misspent-youth 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The strange thing is there are more poisonings with people think they are eating field mushrooms than any other mushroom in the UK. Its the "Yellow Stainer" its very very similar to the field mushroom. Simple test is to scratch the edge of the cap if its a stainer it will go bright yellow. Also the base of the stem will go yellow as well. Yellow Stainer WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM Poisonous causing alarming symptoms but not affecting everybody. Not worth the chance!

Arry 20,922 Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Two mushrooms worth learning and my favourites are the Cep?Penny bun and Hen of the Woods both tasty and easy to learn. Safe as there is not much you can muddle them up with. Penny Bun WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM One of the stars of the mushroom world. Easily recognisable among the edible species. Generally seen eight days after rain around late summer to the start of... Hen of the Woods WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM Hen of the Woods, Grifola frondosa, Basidiomycetes, Polypore, Parasitic, Oaks, Edible, Gourmet, Summer, Autumn I highly recommend these two mushrooms.

Greyman 27,761 Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Just stopped on my way home from school and picked a couple of ink caps for the grand kids, picked cooked and eaten in minutes 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 20,922 Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Out Foraging did get a feed but more stuff I didn't take. This striking mushroom stood out. Probably "The Sickener" Poisonous. "The Stinking Dappling" Poisonous. This is supposed to be rare. "Black Tooth" inedible. Possibly "The Blusher" edible BUT possible "The Panther Cap" Deadly so I never take them. Then this one a Bolete but I don't recognise it so I left it. Cheers Arry 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 20,922 Posted Sunday at 14:16 Report Share Posted Sunday at 14:16 Out for another foraging mooch this morning. Was about two miles from the car and it pissed down and that f***ing Jack Pike jacket useless piece of shit let the rain through like a cheese cloth shirt Lol. Still found the first Horse mushroom of the year some Fieldies a few Chanterelles. In one field I find what looks like Brown Field mushrooms the only field I every find them. They look just like the one you get in the super market. going to do a bit of research on them. Cheers Arry 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry That sickener is a beautiful mushroom Arry and the blusher so similar to the fly agaric apart from the obviously colour difference, where was you Dartmoor ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking one of the Milkcaps. If you turn one over run a blade across the gills see if a milk like liquid exudes from the damage. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just going off the photo I think maybe "Saffron Milkcap" once again turn one over and damage the gills see if white milky stuff come out if it does have the milk stuff could be any of the milkcaps. I have not found Fly Agaric yet this year as well think they are late this year. I like finding them as they make great photos plus Cep's come at about the same time and in the same area. Saffron Milkcap WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM Uncommon in the South this tasty mushroom is more frequent in Scotland and Northern Britain. I know I keep saying but the ww.wildfood.com the mushroom section is a great site with good ID videos. Cheers Arry 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
