I think it must be amazing to know which mushrooms to pick in the wild. I’m totally clueless, and stick to store-bought. More than a little envious of the idea of a basket 🧺 of wild mushrooms 🍄 😋
I’d also like to grow them, I know that you do 🙃, must be amazing.
PS: your story should’ve won, I’m most interested as to why it wasn’t chosen 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do make this it is delish, both with Greek yoghurt or coconut cream
Aw, thanks! It's kind of you to say so. Who knows what criteria they use. I'm not in to win anyway - that would just be a bonus. I just like it when people read my stories and comment. Thanks so much for your support - your comment makes me feel like a winner anyway.
The best thing to do is get yourself a fungi field guide and join a Facebook mushroom group (if you are on Facebook, which I am, mainly for the wild mushroom group ahaha!). Find out when they grow in your area - usually from Autumn to mid winter here, or later - and where, eg pine forests are the best to find saffron milk caps, because they grow there and are hard to mistake for anything else. So once you know what they might look like, you then go see if you can find a few - and then use all the reference points to check. Then I also ask someone in my group to be sure! But once you KNOW, you know! I mean, I only can identify about five confidentally! I'm learning all the time.
Growing them is fun too - like anything, you start by reading instructions online and getting your stuff together - before you know it you're doing it!
