Wild Mushrooms

[Sark79]

I know a guy that I used to work with who picks and eats wild mushrooms .  Today I went out with him and with the dogs and we picked a bunch.  I had mentioned last week to a group of friends that there was a lot of wild mushrooms this year compared to other years, he offered to show me which types were ok to eat. 

Tonight's dinner is pasta in a wild mushroom sauce.  The sauce looks good so far and it is currently boiling on the stove. I tasted a little bit and it just tastes like supermarket mushrooms. I have not had any strange things happen, so they must be ok and I have no signs of obvious illness yet 

I thought it best to cook for only me, just in case I have got it wrong.

Does anyone have any experiences with wild mushrooms? ( legal )

Sounds yummy Sark - enjoy!  No stories here, I'd probably be too scared to eat mushrooms i'd picked myself

[Sark79]

I have just eaten it and it was very nice. I sprinkled some grated cheese over the top of it and put loads of pepper on it.  I love pepper and put it on almost everything I eat.

There's loads of mushrooms kicking about that you can just eat. I think you have to be very careful though, there's some that look similar to ok ones but are dodgy.

I don't like mushrooms anyway, but if I did, I think I'd just settle for the supermarket ones.

The best ones to pick are the little tiny ones (but not deathcap ones). Best prepared in a soup, or you can dry them and enjoy them that way.

They've never been illegal. BTW. Until a recent law made illegal the preperation of them. You could buy them at the local market until early this year!

Hmmm, I'd just buy some from the shop...safer!

I think they're now classed as Class A drugs.  So it is illegal to possess, supply, import, etc.

Import? They grow here naturally Became illegal to possess fresh ones on one sad Sunday in July, 2005. Although dried ones have always been illegal (contrary to my above comment, it was the fresh state that wasn't illegal).

My mushrooms were legal and just tasted like supermarket mushrooms.  When I used to work in greenhouses, some of the mushrooms that grew there were massive.  I never used to take an interest in them and usually just dug them out as weeds.  My friend who worked with me was the guy who helped me pick them today. He always collected them and took them back home for dinner.  He loved them

My back garden is full of them at the moment.

I took a pic of some the other day, but dunno what I did with it..
