RE: Forest Mushrooms for Fungi Friday

Those white ones look like peppery lactarius aka Lactarius piperatus. And guess what they are edible and easy to figure out. Just take a tiny taste test and if it burns the heck out of your tongue its a piperatus. Or if you want to take a step before the nibble test just cut the gills and if milk comes out its at least in the lactarius family and not deadly poisonous. I usually dry these and use the powder as a spice, it tastes just like black pepper.

Fair play to you using things like mushrooms that occur naturally. As a society, it's something we could all approve upon in my opinion.

Wisconsin is one of the best places to mushroom hunt. It has double the mushrooms that us FIBs have lol. Though I would probably avoid any found on golf courses since they use heavy duty pesticides there and mushrooms tend to absorb alot of them.
