Edible Mushrooms

(1/14) > >>

Well its almost morel time and I am PUMPED.  I look foward to this all year.
I am looking to find other edibles.  I won't eat them unless I have someone tell me they are ok or show me them in the woods while I am hunting

I hear puffballs are edible.  I see alot of brown puffball like mushrooms but I heard real pufballs are white.  Once I saw some white puffbals that were almost as big as soccer balls.  It was big enough for a meal.  No joke.  How big can they get?

JustAim:
Hi, Yes l've heard that puffballs are edible but l have never tried them before so l'm not sure how to perpare them. l think you have to pick them when they're young and the colors a bright white. But as for eating mushrooms that someone says is ok to eat...l would not recommend or l'd have them eat the mushroom first and watch them very closely to see if they are gettin' sick  ;D l would buy a mushroom guide for edibles and non edibles on mushrooms.  :)

Timo:
Finding greys and blacks here right now.The morels normally would be another week away, but we are forecast for some 20 degree weather beginning Sunday night......Tisk, tisk.

As for puffs,I have never eatin them, but those around here that do say that when they first come up is when you want them. Not alot of flavor as to say a portabella, but good just the same. Lots of them here,mostly in the fall.

Dana, how about corals and boulettes, do you guys have them?

Hillbilly:
Still about another couple weeks here until morel time-can't wait. I love 'shrooms. The wild ones I collect and eat regularely are morels, chanterelles, black trumpets, puffballs, beefsteak fungus, sulper shelf/chicken of the woods, Lactarius corrugis, L. indigo, L. volemus, and a few others. As for the puffballs, several kinds are delicious if you get them when they are young and fresh-must be completely white inside. I've seen some giant puffballs the size of basketballs.
