Brick Caps are an exelent choice, The Pine Humus loving Mushroom tasts great and are easy to identify.The wine staining Parasol Lepiota,is a rare species,extreemly good though,and lets not forget Orange Milk caps and the famous Blewit.

That Mushroom was the first of a basket full that I was able to find. Today I found a couple Russula Virescens, The nice Blue-Green caps were a welcome site, I have picked these in Boston and finding them here in Fla. was just.. nice

The King Bolete Grows here in Fla. Fall or late summer is a good time to find them.

Allrightythen. As I've posted before, my knowledge of mushrooms is limited to the grocery store.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

these mushrooms are much better than those in the store. Orange milk caps are best eaten raw and they are semi sweet so they stand apart from other mushrooms because of their crisp texture and delecate sweetish flavor. try one...
