Originally posted by bertwert Mushrooms are excellent, and some of those are pretty meaty too.
When cooking a vegetarian curry (we have one in the house, so it is necessary to cater to them every so often) I always put lots of mushrooms in. Tasty
We use the mushrooms we buy from the store. Not the canned mushrooms, but the ones grown by a grower in town.
Our house is about a kilometer from a small (66 acres) riverine nature preserve and I have been known to go for photographic walks down the forest trails.
Interesting fauna...owls, otters, beavers, snapping and painted turtles, etc. Also interesting flora which includes different mushrooms . Sometimes I have thought that some of these wild mushrooms might be a taste treat, but I wouldn't pick them for consumption.
Only because I don't have a clue about what is safe and what will lay me out for good. But those who do, have the proper mushroom knowledge, enjoy the fruits (fungi) of their labour.
