I guess the best thing to do is not to go for ordinary looking mushrooms but extraordinary looking ones. They are harder to confuse with dodgy ones.

Hi anna it is great thrill to find wild food, isn’t it. It must be wonderful to supplement your usual fare with fresh finds. I’m not as brave as you in identifying fungi as I’ve had a few bad experiences with ordinary looking mushrooms. My friend Liz whom you met last Feb is the expert and collects all sorts of edible ones that don’t appear in the shops. Spring is coming here and I’m planting out the new vegie seedlings and wondering if we are going to have another scorcher like last summer. I’ve got a new tank but that won’t last long. Take care with those mushrooms. Lots of love Julie

this story is full of pleasure and memories for me too; childhood mushroom expeditions in south australia, the beautiful people of Oregon, the solitude and random companionship of the self propelled pilgramage (of sorts). thanks for a good read…

Well, let’s just say I’d like to be a mushroom expert – I’m a real novice and I normally won’t eat anything that hasn’t been inspected by someone else whose knowledge I trust more than mine.

I’m impressed, you seem to be such a mushroom expert. it’s such a mysterious world to me.
