A bucket, a basket and a bag - will you eat them all?

Will you eat all that you collect? I went on a fungus foray a few years ago but I didnt enjoy it. The leader was so full of it and had no time for us beginners

Sensational fungi pictures.  I particularly like the blue one that looks like a Pixie Cup.

Most edible fungi dry really well, Mark, so it is not as if they all need to be eaten fresh!


 
The colours ARE fascinating.... and I love the description of Shrek's ears!

Mark
We eat all that we collect. Not one day.
Some people do not like to eat mushrooms. But like to gather them.  :D Like my son.

John, Maggi, Gunilla  :-*

Maggy, not only dry. Many kinds of fungy could be cooked like cabbage by fermentation. Or conserved in marinade. It is very tasty!

Olga, I can't get over your fabulous Macro photography of these weird and wonderful fungal growths - the lighting is just magic showing each one off to perfection.  Imagining you in this secret forest - do you have a photo which shows it?   ::)

Maybe you have a special mushroom recipe that we could share in Cooks Corner thread?

Love the thought of vodka and mushrooms!!!!
Seriously though, Olga, the pictures are just fantastic. We collect fungi to eat but do not have the knowledge or experience of our European continental friends.
