I really enjoy the rain we have been having.

Mushrooms are popping up on the verges where I live.

Have had many a pot filled with them so far.

 

As for the Family they sit and watch me "You sure they are not poison mushrooms"

I have been asked the same question for 10 years.... well by the time they have decided I"m not dying I've finished  them.

 

And Yes Mushroom are good for you

Hi I'm in the same boat. I pick lots and get to eat them on my own. The family dont know what they're missing. Field mushrooms, iKowa, Boletes, and a buddy needs to show me the horse mushroom.

 

Think I'll take the afternoon off and go pick :)

Some of them even has medicinal uses, and some studies show they can help decrease the risk of cancer... so I read.

The tastiest are found under pines, pine rings, and the king, the porcini (Boletus edulus)
