This thread is to apologize to Gene for even attempting to post as if his thread were mine. I am very sorry, Gene.
Missing wild mushrooms in my diet since marrying Katie, I inquired of her a short while ago why she disliked them so. I discovered she did not know wild mushrooms often do not, even cannot grow where their domestic cousins are raised, and that she would be open to trying home grown wild mushrooms!
Perhaps Many other people also lack knowledge of wild mushrooms? So, with approval of others reading here, I would like to extend an abbreviated course in them and home growing them here, so, whatchall think? Anytakers?

Dennis Sounds good. I enjoy photographing them and have an app to identify them. Many times I am nearly 100% sure that they are editable, but I decided the risk out ways the reward. Now if I had a taste tester to watch for about 24 hours, I might be the second to eat them.

Okay, grin, sounds good. What I have done in the past is teach people how to make/take a spore sample on suspects, but first learn which are toxic in anyone’s area. Then which may be “suspect.” Simple, leave both of them alone!
By learning which are completely safe to eat, leaves a huge variety, plus your local agg college has a colored text available to help in this, and other matters of interest to you as a wild mushroom gatherer! Then make it a practice of never eating any prepared by one not eating them, themselves!

Very interested, though our varieties will probably be different here. Mushrooming certainly helped make the grocery bill a lot lighter when we were children, we just thought of it as fun, but I'm sure my mum appreciated it for other reasons.

I love mushrooms but only eat them if 100% sure they are safe so it's supermarket only. My daughter used to live on a dairy farm where they grew wild and they were so nice. But she know longer lives on a farm now 😂

Not knowing NZ’s view (rules?) regarding public education of toxins from ‘shrooms, it would be a disgrace for me to make any pretex otherwise, here. Do you not have a local agricultural college there to contact? Here in the States, much reliable info can be obtained from the local state educational jurisdiction. I have used them nation wide to assist me in prevention expressing of something false.
Your comments have been highly valued by this often ignorant poster. Smile, (methinks m’ German great grandma was quite right:) “too soon alt, too late schmart”.

We probably don't have as many varieties as you do over there, Dennis. And I wouldnt know who ro ring to asj about them. I know you can buy mushroom kits to grow your own but I have never tried them. Nothing can beat a wild growing mushroom though, specially fried up in the pan on toast or with steak, yum.

Being quite knowledgeable of western Washington USA wild mushrooms, before posting of them here, I began doing some due diligence about other locations and determined my idea is full of holes! Not going to proceed with it.
Even totally safe mushrooms in this area can be toxic in another.
Also, due to toxicity from fallout there is just too much risk in other places, sigh!
Remember, all mushrooms are edible, problem is those which are edible just once!
I will help anyone willing to email me, ask for it, and tell me just where they wish to hunt them.

I am very sorry, Gene. ...No apology needed, Dennis -- it bothers me not a whit when a thread goes off topic -- especially ones that I start. To me, a thread is like a conversation around the dinner table. It evolves and changes, and that's part of what keeps it interesting.

When we lived on the farm we had mushrooms that grew wild down by the river. People used to sneak in onto the property to pick them. I remember getting mad at them when I went walking in the woods and came upon a bunch of people stealing my mushrooms lol... They were really good.

WE HAVE SEVERAL BOOKS ON IDENTIFYING WILD MUSHROOMS .
WE BRING THEM HOME, TRY TO MATCH THEM TO DESCRIPTION, THINK WE HAVE IT NAILED AND THEN, AND THEN... ARE AFRAID AND THROW THEM OUT!

In Switzerland, many (if not all) of the villages have a government certified mushroom inspector -- could be the post master, could be a school teacher, could be a farmer - and anyone who picks mushrooms can stop by the inspector for a free scan. www.vapko.ch/index.php/de/

Here in NZ I have had a marvelous wild mushroom season. I was eating them twice a day to keep up, giving buckets of them away to a couple of old codgers and freezing them. I have one shelf in the freezer stuffed with mushroom soup. Snow, what is this app you have for identifying them? I know the basics but there are a two or three I am told I can eat but not too sure about it. They are the puffball, a large brown slimy on top mushroom and the orange/red one with white spots. Any advice?

I don't eat wild mushrooms. Online guides to New Zealand fungi Landcare Research’s Fungal Guide and Virtual Mycota. The Fungi of Kaimai Bush website, with many photos by Shirley Kerr. The Hidden Forest website, again with many photos of fungi.

Thanks xna, I was reading about an app, probably the one you have and did not like what I read. I like my wild foods but I also like to eat things twice. Some mushrooms , a fella would only eat once.

Down here you could tell when it was magic mushroom season as lots of the mountain guides and other staff up at Mt Cook Village had them drying on their window sills. There was also a funny look in their eyes.
