    Choke, sputter. Those green thingies gotta go. I can do one a year but that's it. Everything else looks yummy. Those mushrooms look like pancakes from the top. Nice job.

    Lol! Brussel sprouts are delicious!

    Good time of year around here. A lot of my meals have at least something harvested from nature. Last night was blue rock fish fillet and uni battleship rolls.

    I used to think there wasn't much I wouldn't eat but since I've been on this forum I've discovered the world's worst menu items. Everything from balut to brussel sprouts have been posted. Blech.

    Uni is delicious!!! One bad experience at a restaurant Ken? Ever had it fresh?

    Still waiting to try balut.


    Mmm. Bacon would have been good on these mushrooms.

    Looks delicious.

    On the balut note - I doubt seriously if I will ever have one again. I ate 17 during Chief's Initiation.

    Those uni rolls look fantastic. I'm glad to see somebody getting mileage out of the A. calyptroderma. They tend to stink by the time I find them and while I can identify them reasonably, I don't like the state of their taxonomy and have a prejudicial mistrust of the group. For reasons more and less obvious, I'm a lot more cautious with Amanita than even safety mandates.

    Thanks. Unfortunately 2 of them for some reason were horrible. Haven't had that problem before.

    Yeah I was stoked on the Amanitas. Normally they aren't in that good of shape, and when they're big they're fishy. But these were big and perfect. You can tell as big as they were they weren't even completely mature. The cap was still convex and hadn't planed out yet.

    I do feel a bit nervous every time. Something about eating a mushroom in the same genus of death caps is unnerving no matter how many times you do it. But if I dont have a multitude of identifiable characteristics I chuck. Actually if even ones not there I toss it. I may know it's right but if the rain has washed off the universal veil I toss. Not worth messing around with. Oddly enough there are only a few I trust myself to ID. I'm more comfortable with this Amanita than a lot of safer boletes and such.

    Here's a video of a hunt a week ago.

    Actually brussels sprouts slice in quarters and fried in bacon grease are really good, Rick. Throw in some sliced onions and you might find them passable.

    I just can't bring myself to eat wild mushrooms. Had a college professor that was an expert took us out shrooming one weekend but can't do it beyond occasional Chicken of the Woods now.

    I think cause my big brother hated brussels sprouts. I love them.

    In fact we eat all of the cultivars of Brassica oleracea. We eat quite a bit of collard greens, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and what not!

    never had fried brussels sprouts in bacon grease. But, like the man says, money can't buy happiness. But, it can buy bacon and that's close enough!

    I love all of them except the B Sprouts. I just don't like the flavor.

    If I eat brussel sprouts, I can clear a room in a few hours. Passive aggressive, maybe not so passive LOL.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    I had always been under the impression that amanita was a poisonous species, so I never messed with them. Maybe time to start learning mushrooms. That looks delicious!
