Mmm, surely gold would be smaller, have pointier heads, frills under the caps and turn honey blue6

I've always wanted to forage mushrooms but I'm also terrified of poisoning myself and the entire family.4

As Terry Pratchett said, all fungus is edible, some of it only once..

If you just learn to recognise a few that are worth eating, I probably only pick 6 kinds, it's free food. Not difficult to learn the few really deadly ones and you've nothing to worry about. This lot weighs over a kilo and would cost over £80 a kilo to buy.Chunes said:I've always wanted to forage mushrooms but I'm also terrified of poisoning myself and the entire family.4 -
Wild mushrooms are an annual delicacy here in Yunnan. One of my favourite things to eat during rainy season.

The phrase mushroom hunting made me chuckle. Do you need a professional stalker like for stag hunting?
Then there's that bird the Oyster Catcher. How fast has anyone seen an oyster run?1 -
Pheasant hunting is an odd one. I know it's done as some sort of "sport" but near where I live they seem so bloody stupid and carefree you could actually walk up to one and grab it. If you were so inclined to do so.2

But once they get used to living wild they soon learn.
There's a lot of them living in the fields and woods behind Chelsfield and they seem to be doing fine.0 -

I have a box of grow your own mushrooms to do, they were an anniversary present.0

A small tree died in my garden earlier this year. Rather than just dump it I decided to grow exotic mushrooms in it. So I bought some plugs and drilled out some holes and stuck the trunk at the back of the flower bed. The problem I now have is will take 4 years to work, there is no way that I’ll be eating anything off that rotting lump. There’s a very good chance that another fungus is present and more than likely my attempt to grow something interesting has probably failed. I’ll stick with Sainsbury’s for my foraging.0
