Hans, your wife's photos make the first fungi look beautiful and so tempting - maybe some recipe ideas would be good on Cooks Corner with links from his thread?

I just wish I knew more about them as there are plenty to be found here in the Swiss Alps and in Liguria, Italy, where we visit and walk.

Are these fungi in the photos growing in beech woodland?

Thank you Robin  :D

OK - I will tell it my wife !

I know only she has it cooking for a long time and she told me the taste is exquisit ( also similar like morel)

The places where this fungi grows is a wet area near the river Rhein ( we live here in the Rhein valley ) -I dont know if this fungi also grow in your area or in Liguria.
It is a mixed wood - not only beeches .

Good to see more and such diverse fungi and to have them named Hans - some special meals to enjoy I imagine whilst it's too wet to be in the garden - plenty of rain here too  :D

Out of interest Hans, is this for research or pleasure?
