Yes! In fact there were some really nice shrooms, and I actually remarked to my son that it would be cool to know which ones you could eat, and which ones you couldn't, because if the ones we saw were edible, it would have made a nice meal or two.

The idea of foraging for dinner appeals to me, but the knowledge needed seems so vast and difficult to acquire that I don't feel motivated to start.

We should talk offline. Get the Audubon book. ($20.00) and I'll give you a couple/few/several you can't screw up. Doing the spore prints is pretty cool too.

In the mushroom dept, I stick strictly to the morels (dry land fish).

Eat these fellas sliced, fried in butter

That is a false morel, and some people can eat them with impunity, if prepared correctly. Some people get deathly ill, even if it is prepared correctly.

Toxins remain, correctly prepared, or not.

Also involving shrooms?

BigV · 09-16-2014, 09:33 PM

hahahaha

ah, no

This time of year, the sun comes through the front window at an angle and time of day that lets me witness a slowly traveling dispersion of sunlight, refracted through the corner of my fishtank.

I watched the pretty colors on the floor and thought it might make a fun selfie. I was right, I did have fun.

Here's a shot of the floor, and a wider, brighter shot of the floor for context. I'd thought about putting it in the what is this thread, but ... meh.

Yeh, Grav. We don't get many morels up here and they are typically pretty small.

Looking good "V"
