welsh1 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Most defiantly edible mushrooms, i picked a load off the golf course opposite my house in the last couple of days, had some in a spag bol, bacon eggs and mushrooms for a fry up, and some left over for something tomorrow.Just give them a wash in case they have used some pesticides on the grass.

Eyefor Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Them's field mushrooms. Lovely. When they peel to the middle (or near enough) they're edible. No peel, no eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchap Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not an expert but usually test them by rubbing it on your skin if it stains your skin yellow, leave it. and if it smells like a mushroom ok, if you get a whiff of Almonds leave it.

wymberley Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 No matter one's age, every day is a school day. What with typing errors and spell-checker you never know but it did sort of make sense so I looked up "toad stall". Couldn't find it in any dictionary sense, but discovered it is in common use colloquially. In all my time and I've lived in most parts of the country, I've never heard anything but toadstool. Thanks for the thread, has reminded me to check my favourite field about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, get them before someone else does. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early morning......pick the small new closed cup ones, the bigger open cups are older and they are usually full of insects! You can tell if they are - break off the stem near the cap. If you see any small pin holes bin it (or enjoy the "field flavour...your choice!). That is also why early morning is best so the insects haven't got to them yet.

Anyway the mushroom maggots usually start to crawl out when they feel the heat of the frying pan, just mix them in for a bit of extra protein, lovely.

Reminds me of when I first got to Aden in the 60s. I'm in the breakfast queue for the cereal and have noted that everyone is tapping the Shredded Wheat on the work top before putting them in the bowl. I hadn't a clue why but thought as it seems to be de rigueur, I'll follow suit. Soon found out why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
