Looking forward for some Autumn rains over here to kick off our season. Hopefully many-a-feed of Pine Mushys . Maybe this year...ill find the elusive Porchini. Got a few spots sussed to check out, when the time comes . Meppstas and gregtech 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Underpants 1,543 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 As a kid we'd used to find Field Mushrooms every Autumn, as per Adrian's bag. Very, very tasty indeed. Sadly, somewhere along the line they became far less common and Agaricus Xanthodermus (see below) or 'Yellow Stainer' became very dominant. They look similar to field mushys but are toxic. Easily distinguished by the yellow bruises that develop when damaged. These also smell somewhat like 'hospital disinfectant' too. Im no expert but if you want an easy one to identify - both dead easy to find and identify, you cant go past the Pine Mushroom. Literally anywhere were there is an average stand of mature radiata pines will likely produce these, especially in the hills. I picked a heap from the young fellas school in Crafers (cant find that photo) and could have easily gathered 100+kg at Kuitpo and Mt Crawford forests last season. They look kinda weird as they are realllly orange and ooze orange sap when cut - hence also known as 'Saffron Milkcaps'. Their only downside is their mild flavour, not strong earthy you might expect from Fields or Porchini. My favorite is simple: Quick pan fry in butter and a little garlic, brandy flambe. Served on toasted rye bread with some freshly shaved pecorino Meppstas, bjorn2fish and gregtech 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meppstas 4,962 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 If you're not sure if it's a mushroom or a toadstool then leave it be, one way to check the difference is to scratch the top of it and if it goes yellow then it's a toadstool.. also a lot of toadstools are white underneath as well.. Here's a few magic mushrooms.. KIDNEY SLAPPER, Squid Inc., bjorn2fish and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIDNEY SLAPPER 1,272 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 wow adrian the magic mushrooms really do look yummy....lucky i dont eat mushrooms☺ Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Underpants 1,543 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Codswallop! They're Fly Agaric not your 'magic mushrooms'. Also common in and around your Pine Mushrooms Yes they are reported to produce hallucinations but are rather toxic. If you're lucky will result in abdominal cramping, vomiting & diarrhea. Unlucky, permanent liver damage. Are 'edible' with correct preparation, apparently delicious too! https://honest-food.net/eating-santas-shroom/ Stick with the standard Blue Meanies for your 'shroom experiences.

Meppstas 4,962 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'm only going by what the locals here in Tassie call them.. I don't touch or wouldn't even attempt to try them, I just take photos of them, so have no idea only going on hear say.. KIDNEY SLAPPER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
