Wild mushrooms as food

Ehhhhhh. The only mushrooms I feel comfortable identifying are chanterelle, they are common in my area quite frequently but I've only picked them once. Otherwise I'd rather not risk killing myself for a few $

In my school one of the most popular books was a guide to mushrooms in the British Isles. I think I would have to order a copy and read avidly before I go foraging.

Pic shows Phallus impudicus, which surprisingly is edible even though it has a pungent odour.

>paying ridiculous amounts of money for the slimy bastards they sell at the store
Don't know how it is where you live but my local stores have pine-fresh mushrooms at very low prices.

Yes wild mushrooms are wonderful. I pick chanterelles, morels, oysters, lobsters and a few more. Just try to find someone to teach you who knows

Always pick kilograms of chantarelles at fall. I do need a new way to cook them though. How much and what white wine?

How much for chanterelles?

I just heat clarified butter in a pan, then toss in some diced up chantarelles and saute until they're soft. Toss in maybe a quarter cup of white wine, stir, and when it evaporates, add in some vegetable or chicken broth, about three times as much as the wine. Crank up to high and when it's about 2/3 evaporated, I add it into a thin bechamel sauce and toss with pasta and top with some caramelized onions (or I blend the onions into the bechamel to make soubise).
