Assortment

The highlight of this assortment of mushrooms are the little hedgehog mushrooms in the bottom left. They are Hydnum repandum, but small ones. These mushrooms have little teeth underneath the caps. They’re very distinctive and they are a choice edible, on par with chanterelles. There were others there as well that were still the tiniest buttons. I’ll go pick those in a week or so. This is from a spot that consistently fruits these mushrooms. It’s um, in that forest, you know the one, just down oh what’s the name of that road?

    I love the way you keep your hunting grounds a secret. At least share some of your favourite mushroom recipes.

      If I told everybody my best spots, I would never find any more mushrooms. It’s no big secret though. With a couple exceptions, I forage in county forests.

      I’ve posted a little about cooking mushrooms, but for the choice ones, simple is best. Fry up some hedgehog mushrooms with a little butter and olive oil and serve them up on toast. It doesn’t get much better.

Have your say...
