What is it with me and walking past the edible mushrooms, hey?
Hello #FungiFriday community!
Another beautiful Friday afternoon here. I’ve already went for my weekly run, had a healthy, protein rich breakfast and I’m enjoying my 3rd cup of green tea on this wonderful sunny, Friday in Lincolnshire.
A part of me always wishes there would be rain and wind and snow on Friday morning, so I can have an excuse not to run or at least say what a sacrifice I’m making by going out for that run. But no, 3 Friday in a row, I get up in the morning and the weather is glorious - just perfect for that morning run 😂
Yes! I’m visiting my friend up North again. So for this #FungiFriday I’ve prepared a mixture of Beefsteak Fungus and some grass fungi that I found here, in Crystal’s garden last time I visited in September.
Ok, it’s a little about grass fungi and much more about Bonie, cause dogs and mushrooms combo is just utterly adorable. Yes, I was excited to see a few mushrooms in between the grass, but I made sure Bonie is also participates in this little photo session. I know @ewkaw will love it 😁
It was quite disturbing for Bonie that I was paying so much attention to something in between the grass rather than her! She was sniffing away to find that exciting thing that I was photographing 😂
Ok, ok, let’s get back to the Beefsteak Fungus or otherwise known as Ox-tongue Fungus or scieniticly as Fistulina Hepatica. Wild food uk website also quoted a Polish name for it, which was a nice surprise to find, but also not such a huge surprise, because Polish community is known for their interest in mushroom foraging. Ozorek Dębowy is the Polish name for it if you’re curious.
At first I saw this red jelly-like creature by the side of the footpath I was walking on. It’s the first time I saw a creature like this, so of course I had to stop and take some poctures of it. ‘Red jelly like fungi’ was also what I typed in google just before writing this post. My description turned out quite accurate, cause in no time I found a few pictures that looked just like the fungi I found in my nearby forest.
From my last google searches I remembered that Wild food uk was pretty good, because apart from a good description, plenty of pictures at various growth stages and many names the particular fungi goes by, they also add a little video at the bottom, where a guy talks more in depth about it, shows it’s growing habitat as well as talks about each feature by which to recognise it and how to distinguish it from most common look-alikes.
I find those videos extremely useful for identifying the various mushrooms I’m finding and by the name of the website involving Food you can see that yet again unbeknowlingly to me I have found an edible mushroom!
Truth be told, I’m not so mad at myself for not picking it. Firstly because this is the only time I’ve ever seen this mushroom in my local forest. Clearly there aren’t so many around, so I happily left it there to hopefully multiply after I took a few captures of it.
Whoever walked past this mushroom and noticed it before me did the same as well as they made my job easy by slicing a piece of it, showing the amazing flesh inside it, which at this stage of maturity does indeed look like a beefsteak.
Had I walked past one of those again in the future I would also slice a bit of the smallest specimen. In the video on Wild Food UK the guy did this with a younger one and inside it the looked more like a tuna steak rather than a beef steak. That was very interesting to see.
The other thing he mentioned was that while this fungi is indeed edible and you can even eat a small slice of it raw, the taste isn’t excatly as good as some other edible mushrooms. His favourite was of preparing them would be in a creamy sauce.
Now that I’m armed in all the necessary knowledge about this fascinating looking fungi I would probably slice of a few bits of it whenever I see it again. I mean tastes differ and I might actually like it. Even if I don’t I would at least be richer of one more experience - earing Beef Steak Fungus that apparently doesn’t taste anything like beef steak 😂
Before I go… have you noticed that I just published my 100th article on this account on Hive today? It’s been roughly just over a year since I posted my first article here, so more or less 1 post every 3 days. Not really all that bad, is it? To celebrate this little milestone of mine, I’d like to give away 3 HSBI Units to the first 3 people who comment with code 100. A little different than the usual code blue 😉💙

Congrats on your 100th post! 💥
And that's the most mushroom I've seen yet. It does indeed look like steak 👀 And also quite erotic :D
P.s. Your pup is adorable. And yes. Can totally imagine even her trying to figure out what you'd found ❤️
Erotic! Now that you say it… 😁
The pup is from my friend. I was visiting her this weekend. She’s only 7 months! She’s gonna be really huge by the time she finishes growing 🤣😯

Those look like some yummy shrooms. I just moved and need to learn the local edibles in my area. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Ozorek Dębowy - I have never heard of that one! I probably did see it... somewhere... and had no idea what I am looking at :p And it really looks like beef! So cool :)
And yes.. I love it! Bonie looks great in the background :D Looks like she was looking for more mushrooms for you to shoot.
Yay! Congrats :D
code 100 ;)
Me neither! I used to just go to the forest and pick up what I know is edible but thanks to your community I see more and more interesting things in the forest, cause I pay more attention and looking actively to find something to capture 😁 That’s second edible fungi I found by googling what I found. Amazing 🤩
Bonnie is now bigger than Kylo and she’s just 7 months old!
1 HSBI coming your way tomorrow 😁 That’s second one I’ve seen so far

Good afternoon dear friend @fantagira, how are you?
How great that you are leading a healthier life, how good that the weather behaves so you can go for a walk.
What beautiful and colorful mushrooms you have found, each with their own style and charm, I appreciate you letting us know their name
Beautiful photographs, thank you very much for showing them to us.
Have a special afternoon and congratulations on your 100th publication number.
Hey fren! It feels good too to be making healthier choices. I also started to enjoy preparing my meals again, which feels great too and my body is showing the change too.
Very special mushroom indeed. Thank you for stopping by 💙

Thanks Monika 🙂 💙 Congratulations on 100 🎉 a post every 3 days or so is good. That's kind of my pace as well I'm at 89.
It’s not bad, but it could always be better! You’re doing well, Bob, considering you started good few months after me 😁
I’m curious to see if I can do next 100 posts in less than a year 😂

Keep up the great work King @coolmidwestguy, fantagira(1/6) is impressed by the thought and consideration you put into this post. Your work is truly appreciated.
you rock! and @fantagira knows it, that's why he sent you this gift of 0.025 HKGENTHREE to remind you how great you are.
BTW! You will find powerful and charismatic NFTs in the AVATAR PACKS that you can use in all our games.
If you count your alternate with your totals your doing super duper good 😊 100 is a good yearly target. I have until February I would think I reach it by the end of the year. There's sometimes I knock them down in a week, I think my best is 5 in a week. That is very rare for me though. You can do more than 100 for sure, better to just go with the flow and not keep track IMO, haha. !HUG
True that Bob! As soon as I set myself a target or goal I seem to go in a total opposite direction 😂 I think I managed one or two weeks of daily posting, but that only ever happens when I’m on holiday. I will be going to Poland for 3 weeks in December, so possibly one straight week of posting then will be viable. Not when I’m at work 🤷🏻♀️
To be honest I’d be happy if I stack to 2-3 a week, but sometimes I go 2 weeks without a post, which is not great!
Yes, on my alt I probably doubled the 100 but actifit reports barely count 😉 It’s like a little diary of mine that I kept on for a while, but when I do a lot of those, my main account suffers, so I need to find a good balance 😁

Hooo, that's another unfamiliar mushroom. And what a weird name it has, well, it kinda looks like a beef, with color I mean byt, this is really good find ha 🤔. I thought it is not edible but it is, that's surprising, coz if I will base on it's color, I would think it is poisonous or something.
Yeah, that was a very unusual find I must say. I was also very surprised to find that it was edible 😉

When I saw the thumbnail for the Beefsteak Fungus, I thought I was looking at piece of raw tuna used for sushi. That's what it looked like to me. Would you be able to describe how it compares to portabella mushroom when it comes to taste?
It doesn’t look much like any other mushroom I know and gives people all kinds of associations 😉 I haven’t tasted it myself, so I can’t say much about the taste. Portobello mushrooms have a very mild taste though comparing on most of the wild edible mushrooms that I pick. Not really comparable, you need to try 😁
