'Shroom Hunting

The Hammer

Anyone else like to forage for Mushrooms? It is currently rolling into Chanterelle and Morel season here in the PNW of the US. With the return of the rains, decomposition is starting, and the fungi are starting to make their initial appearances.

I haven't been out yet this year, I am currently scoping out places to forage.

I love mushrooms, but I'm afraid I'll either poison myself or trip.

Yes, a group of us will be going hunting on Wednesday morning. Gerolles (chanterelles), cepes, oyster, and common white (known as champignons de Paris here) are in season. And i expect a basket of chestnuts too

I love morels. Make a great morel and wine cream sauce with fennel. Come bring a bag down to Portland and I'll cook us a meal. :D

That's honestly not that far from me. :D
You're welcome to visit. I wanted to visit some RFers down in Cali when visiting but Covid made us think twice. Will be harder to have an outside picnic in rainy season but we will make due. xD

My best friend is a huge enthusiast. And good enough at predicting where to look that she comes home with bounties that let me laugh at the lesser harvests of others.
I'm not a fan of mushrooms (mostly a texture thing), but I do like going outdoors, especially to some of the more isolated places my friend goes.

Up to the 80s there were a lot of deaths associated with poison mushrooms, the government decided to do something about it.
The French do a lot of weird eating rituals, but they seem to run a very good state.

The food is damn good for sure despite their oddities. I have made more friends here by joining in faire chabrot than anything else.


If you don't like the texture of mushrooms how about a mushroom soup. Good wild mushrooms, (i love cepes) in wherever recipe you like. Pour the lot in a blender and blitz it until smooth

Never thought of that. Typically here they are served in pasta (slimey) or fried (like chewing on a piece of fat).

Even the type of mushrooms I do like, I actually hate eating them and need a lot of peanut butter to gag them down. If it wasn't for the after effects I wouldn't eat them at all.


Fried, sliced thinly and flash fried until golden, delicious.

Another way i like them is coated in Cajun seasoning and fried
