A walk in the woods today. Some inside information too if you've heard about the mushroom poisoning case. It's been a very thunder stormy season and that makes for mushrooms to come out. Never been a problem for me, as I just stick to what I was told was a safe mushroom as a . Basically you can peel it and it has a color but I've never really thought about it too much and thought I'd wander around with the camera today for a look. There's one with obvious jaw marks that doesn't have any gills. A number of what I'm told are death caps and I got some edible ones that are much tastier than the ones in the shop. There's also nettles you can eat, water plants, bardy grubs. Now those Bardies can cause frustration. They climb up the inside of acacias gnawing out a hole and the Sulphur crested cockies a bird listens to the tree for those Bardies gnawing away then it rips open the tree to get to the bardy which is a little fat grub. That works for fruit trees too and the cockies are known to attack them making them break and fall over. Some snap shots for you, can you spot the poisonous ones? Imagine my surprise when I found out that my opinion actually mattered! |

All I know is my Gr Grandmother used to say to boil the mushrooms with a pure silver dime. If the dime turns black then you know there is a poisonous one in there. Maybe an old wives tale but I'm still walking around having harvested many a mushroom.
