So happy to see you getting some results from your foraging - especially the violets!! Thanks for the shout-out.
I have violets in my yard. Never thought of eating them, however. Glad you had fungus fun!
Excellent foraging - a violet jelly is neat and hope you'll be making something delicious with those oyster mushrooms!
Looks like your work paid off... Good score!
Great find! How are you going to use those oyster mushrooms?
I think foraging for mushrooms would be fun and delicious.
linda: hey thank-you for opening my eyes
marjie: yeah I woulda' never thunk - go check out ciao chow lindas recipe
5 star: I am impressed with the vilet jelly violet color - I am unsure what to make
buff: diligence thats what it takes
lisais: I am open for suggestions...
pam: you snuck right by me - foraging is fun and all it really is is going for a walk with a purpose...
You've got good stuff in your backyard. :) Not sure if we could come up with the same goodies in our neighborhood.
wow that mushrooms are looking so fresh and great... Voilets are looking so beautiful
You struck gold! Is that the most you've ever collected at one time? Love the violet jelly!
good finds! How's the violet jelly? fascinating--I've never heard of anything like it.
You've manifested some great skills here. Not only do you know your mushrooms, you can also walk, talk coherently, and tape yourself at the same time. :)
How do you store your mushrooms without them turning slimy in the fridge too soon?
Okay, so those top ones are called wine caps? They are ALL over my back yard and I lowered the mower to mulch them all up. It could be what my puppy has been eating that has made him have the runs the past days. I wonder if that could happen. That little "shit for brains" will eat whatever is in the back yard; leaves, flowers, grass, bugs, mushrooms.
Okay, I guess I meant the second picture. Looks like I can't see the first picture for some reason.
duo: and to think this is in Manhattan - I bet there are things all around you..
pavithra: the violets are such a cool thing...
reeni: actually for the wine cap mushrooms this is about normal - they have 2 growing seasons - now and again in the fall
tavolini: the violet jelly is cool - not much on flavor but ALL color and a great color at that!
leela: all that and I still cant sing row row your boat in a group... I leave them out to air dry - they rehydrate nicely
bina: they look like portobellas - do they have a copper top and a black or dark purple gills and are they rather large?
Thanks for taking us with you on your expedition! you look very happy with all your mushrooms!
Those violets look so beautiful.
Great finds with the mushrooms. The endless possibilities of dishes you can make with those.
Nice job!
The violets are cute!
When I first saw the title, I thought your post would be about what to do with all those wine corks that tend to accumulate....You could make a wreath. Or a trivet. Or you could just go out and pick mushrooms.
Wow-a mushroom fest!!I hope your next post has something to do with mushrooms(hopefully with no baking involved);p
anette: this is what I live for....
jenn: violets are my new best friends...you gotta pick em now they disappear quickly
TBD: these little flowers are right up your alley
urban: I guess I could also make a lei...
sweta: I made pizzas already but I always make pizzas....some kind of ravioli maybe....
whoa...i loved the video (banana is cute) and i love the mushrooms. are they magic?
awesome violets!!! So whats coming with the mushrooms???
Wow, spectacular!! So jealous about all your mushrooms. What are you going to make?
Wow so many fresh mushrooms! The violets look pretty too :)
tanya: magic in what way?
ramya: clueless - I am tired of the same old lasagna I always make - any ideas?
pinknest: I want to make pastes and reductions but I dont know what to put them on...
pooja: these mushrooms dry fast - which is a good thing because then there is no slimy...so fresh is gone quickly.
Okay...maybe I will go foraging...you do you know between a poisoness one and a edible one?
WOW. That's all I have to say.
Awesome find! I found nothing again this weekend :-(
Oh yeah I have violets all over my yard and I am going to give it a shot.
What a great find! All those mushrooms close to home. The violets remind me of spring when I was little. There was a path down to a creek and the violets grew thick and purple.
it's bad enough that there are no mushrooms here, especially when you go all mushroom obessed every year. Now I want some violets, that jelly looks too pretty to eat but I am dying to try it.
thats awsome. I did some research because there are lots of mushrooms at the park near by house and after some research I came to find that a few of the ones I saw were poisonous but the rest were good eats... but since lots of doggies roam the area, i will just buy mine at the grocery store. Im jealous though.
there are mushrooms growing all over the place in our woods in virginia, but i wouldn't even know where to begin as far as knowing whether they're edible or not. and that's a wonderful use for violets that i've never seen!
Thanks for the 101 on mushroom foraging last night - it was a revelation for me. Great to meet you!
