Yesterday's Weapons Forums

If they are large ones, and fresh(inside white and firm), they are damn good, IMO, although a little bland. A pal eats them raw, sliced up in salad, I cut them very thin, and bread and fry them(mushroom pancakes). A little extra salt or ranch dressing for dipping, and we all like them. Think thats bad, how do these look?

Some kind of Coral Mushroom, A Ramaria sp if I'm lucky, I sent a photo to an expert for his assessment. Might be choice, might be just what you said!!

I was squirrel hunting one time years ago and came across one that was as big as a soccer ball but it was too far gone.

I have to admit it , Don. We had both oysters and puffball last night, and the puffball is the last place finisher of all "choice" mushrooms I have tried. Still good, but maybe not choice, a little weird after taste. Nothing a little sauce can't fix. I will try canning some. The other weird one, appears to be what I think it is, but the expert can't confirm it, so I'll pass on it this year.

Those look soooooo good!!!!

I sure wanna get in on picking some, and not something funky, but tastey!!!

My key board was wet, so Im a bit late hetting a response up nothing like kids on the computer...

were waiting on wind yet, but the ocean is calming and were gearing up..

Aint nothing better than natural food

each year at this time my fishin buddy from iowa comes up - a few years back we found [in my yard] a large [soccer ball sized] puffball - could not bring ourselves to fix it -but it looked good , now every year he is looking for more ....none to be found ,

I misidentified a 'shroom 2 summers ago and was sick as a dog for 24 hrs!
Should have turned the page and keyed it a little bit further...............

cant mistake a puffball - i will try them one day soon , i like the [sp] schitake's we find and the "lobsters" , and there is a northwoods item i cant recall the name of that has a very interesting flavor a friend of mine likes to harvest

I don't remember what the name was but when I went back and keyed it out properly it was listed as "mildly poisonous".It sure made me "run" from both directions!

I call such conditions "bazooka flew". one does not stand in front of nor behind such a device. The flew being a deliberate mispelling of flu.

i like that one - ill use it
