Mushrooms

[Radojica]

Serbia and whole Balkan region is very rich with mushrooms, so in my opinion I should learn them better.


I should go with a friend of mine these days to gather them, so I want to learn a bit more of them.

A friend knows them better than me, so I'll just be there to annoy him, but nevertheless, I want to know.

How about you? Do you eat them? Have you ever go our to gather them? Have you ever mistaken eating one for poisonous one and got poisoned ?

You are speaking about Hallucinogene Mushrooms ?

No, I am talking about edible, toxic and medicinal mushrooms.

It´s very complicated to distinguish them all...
Otherwise try to grow some of them.
Mushrooms in free nature can be contaminated highly with radioactivity.

I ate a bunch of really good yellow mushrooms when I was in Russia two years ago. The ones with a flat top in the middle bottom of this picture.

The mushrooms from the family Boletus (pitoi/hribi) and Armillaria (ghebe) are very popular in my area, but also Amanita rubescens (ploier), Cantharellus cibarius (gălbior), Clavaria aurea (laba-ursului) and others I don't remember right now...

I occasionally forage for mushrooms and, to my knowledge, haven't eaten any poisonous mushrooms as of yet. There's an old lady in my village that forages for mushrooms and wild berries from spring to autumn - she knows all the good spots and avoids the heavily polluted areas - and she always brings some to my grandmother so I eat quite a lot of mushrooms.

Here's the article about 6 persons who died in 2009 because they mistaken eatable for toxic one for their similar look.

When walking my Staffies in our local forests and trails, i always take my copy of "The Complete Mushroom Hunter" by Gary Lincoff.
This book is all i need to make sure the mushrooms i pick are edible and safe.
