RE: Wild Food: Mushroom Hunting - Yellow Foot and Black Trumpet
I love hunting for mushrooms! I've been waiting all winter for spring to come so I can go out and find mushrooms. I live in Chicago, we get harsh winters so I don't think we get any mushrooms during the winter months. I'm excited for morel season! Check out my post about morel; I included my own pictures of mushrooms I found. Finding my first morel was like a rite of passage as a mushroom enthusiast 🍄
It's funny you say that because Morels was my first experience wildcrafting mushrooms as well. It was also exciting for me to find a whole new type of wild food I hadn't experienced yet. How fun that we can share the same morel mushrooms in totally different climates!
Have you tried fairy ring champignon? I harvest that from people's front yards in the summer, including my grandpa's front yard every summer. They have a sweet delicate taste and they say you can make them into cookies as well. I'm taking a different approach to mushrooms this year so I'll try that.
Nope I have not yet, but I will keep my eye out! Mushroom cookies you say? Very interesting, I would not have guessed that-- maybe it makes more sense once you know what they taste like! Thanks for the tip :)
