RE: Fungi Friday - Magpie Ink cap, Pacman mushroom, Puffballs and more

Yes, that was a super-nice walk and we saw a particularly expansive selection of mushrooms. The Clathrus ruber is one I love to marvel at, and next time we should pick some of the puffballs and/ or parasols to eat 🤗😍🍲

Yeah, it's a bit of a shame to return from these walks without any edible mushrooms to enjoy later.
P.S. I am startin to smell the chestnuts in the oven...

Parasols are very tasty! I've hear someone says it can be cooked so that the dish will remind 4 different kinds of meat. Sounds amazing.
Puffballs are edible too but it is specific fungus due to its texture. Dont pick them after rain - thus they will soak water alot and turn into jelly. A good way is to dry them, grind and use the powder for adding into soups and dishes later, to give them extra smell and mushroom taste.
