Has anyone else out there in the garden discovered the magic and mystery that is Fungi?

Iv'e become addicted to hunting for Them, to finding and taking photos of Them!

My heart skips a beat at the sight of rotting,decomposing putrifying compost heaps and diseased and squashy slimy damp tree undergrowth! Where was I,ah yes Fungi.A most beautiful and unappreciated living art.

I like it on pizza.

Not those magic ones I hope ? :sneaky:

Very fresh hard mushrooms are delicious raw.



I love mushrooms but Im not keen on the chinese variety, it is shitaki?? as I find them slimy in the mouth



When I am cooking mushrooms and onions to add to meat I always fry a little too much so I can have a mushroom and onion buttie:p

Those large flat open top mushrooms are delicious too, stuffed with savoury rice or a cheesy mix:)

Yummy in salads.

What a link, AC! Reminds me of my old botany professor, he loved fungi and talked about them for hours. (this was back in the day when there were only two kingdoms, and fungi were in the plant one, so guess what we studied alot!)

I like the photo gallery. I think I saw something like this in my lawn last year.

Those ones I find in my yard always seem to make me nauseous.:-2:-3

Oh no Jupiter, mushy peas and mushrooms are not enticing for me....barf, barf...:yh_sick

20 yrs of my life resembled this vivid visual. Now Im just happy watching CNN and having a nite free of anything decomposing or remotely putrifying.

Its not too much to ask is it ?

Sorry Nomad I seem to have elicited an unpleasant flash-back!! So you won't want to know what i've been doing this past month far away from the madding crowd deep in the middle of the aussie bush,no phone,no computer,no people,lets just say i had an amazing time with flora and fauna!!!!!;)

are these the type of mushroom you are all talking about. My Mother and I would go out every spring and hunt for them in forested areas in nearby farms. Love them fried in butter. Haven't had one for years and really do miss them.

Hubs loves mushrooms but I can't stand them.

what a specimen sunshine!! Is'nt nature just mindblowing, could a human dream up such creations!. Some are edible and others are medicinal and some just to freak us out!I hope you get to enjoy the hunt for them again.
