Mushrooms - Slipery Jack

I love looking out for Fungi ,can you eat these Klahanie the name doesn't sound very appetizing .....

LOL Amy. The proper name is Suillus luteus. One can eat them but when it is wet their caps are slimey (yuk). When it is dry it is easy to peel off. My mother use to marinate them or dry them. I know for sure that slugs love it. I do not pick them.

They sound much nicer dry I guess your mother knew how to store her preserves for the winter months Klahanie, people are losing the art today ...

Including me Amy. I do not do nearly as much as my mom.

Mother always knows best ,we could make a meal out of nothing Lol ....

Klahanie, I can send you a magazine in which there is a large article (in Czech) with recipes on mushroom dishes and how to preserve them. We have a lot of mushrooms this autumn. It is said, that a great crop of mushrooms foretells strong winter.

Thank you for the link Katarina and the offer of the magazine but my OH would never eat what I pick. Sometimes we go mushroom hunting with a chef (and mushroom expert) of one of the organic style local eateries and he will prepare what we find for us in his lovely restaurant . My OH will eat that. It is great group outing in the woods. The large Pine mushroom is what he is mainly after. Do you know what it is?
We are leaving for Mexico soon so the cool winter here does not really concerns us.(:-)

I know what is pine mushroom, although I am not fond of mushrooms, they cause digestive problems to me. The only time when I eat mushrooms is on Christmas (kapustnica, kuba). I love kapustnica with lot of mushrooms, dried plums and meat.

Yummy.
