It is that time of the year! One time per year I like to go mushrooming.
This is what I got: https://imgur.com/a/mtv9z
Delicious dinner
Drools over your selection.! How do you cook them?
We do where we pick them, campfire, lots of butter and garlic in a pan, cook the mushrooms, toast some bread on the open flame, smother it in the mushrooms, hit that with a few grinds of black pepper.

bliss.
I imagine preparing them where you find them next to the fire is amazing.
I cooked them at home, similar recipe to yours, although I boiled them before pan frying. I don't know I boil them before frying, I was thought so. Maybe because not all mushrooms taste well if you just fry them, som needs a bit of boiling before, not sure.
Anyway after boiling for 10 minutes I put them in the pan, add butter and cook, then add some herbs, onions, sour cream optional. And eat them with some potatoes.
"In the first two weeks of September alone, there have been more than 40 reported cases of poisonings, mainly linked to thedeath cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides. The fungus is responsible for 90% of all mushroom poisoning. One or two cases in a season would be the norm. But Berndt believes the real figure could be much higher. "
Prior to last year when you or somebody else posted about them in my mushroomng thread, I had no idea about such a mushroom.
I would have simply ignored it as I ignore many of the mushrooms that I do not recognize and assume they are either crappy or inedible or even poisonous.
People are paid to supply fish to the market with the mushrooms
Kind of unrelated thought - I wonder how many good mushrooms are left not picked in the forests. That must be a shit ton of food. Lets say (apocalyptic movie scenario anyone?, lol) there would be overpopulation or shortage of food. That would be the source (like picking wild mushrooms) to tap into
And even in not apocalyptic scenario - that is a lot of good food that goes wasted when you think about it.

Not so lucky here in Sydney, mushrooms are few and far between. There's a few spots where they grow but most are well guarded secrets by local European communities. Place I go is free, but they only allow you to eat them there not take home. Can't really buy mushrooms here, there's lots of fresh Asian varieties but very few European greats.
I understand boiling, some are strong flavoured and tuff but for me, and it being a once a year event, cook the fukers and eat them.
Australia does have some good truffle farms, this past year was amazing, still not as good as European truffles. but ok.
Actually, I am a living proof that this causes 0 damage to your brain, neither other psychedelics like LSD or DMT
If you don't know jackshit about a topic you don't need to comment it.
Btw nice mushrooming, I would never dare to gather mushis myself, you must know them well.

I do not mean that you'd see super notable damage to your brain or stuff like that. The damage would be probably noticeable by doing some serious brain scan and comparing parallel universes where one you is doing drugs and one is not.
Also not only immediate damage, but damage that may influence how well your brain would work after 30-40 years etc etc.
it is not as simple as you do lsd and you notice that you are brain damaged
Not impressive at all. I know maybe 10 good species and pick only them.
I pass lots of mushrooms that I leave that are very likely to be edible ones.
It would be impressive if I knew every single mushroom I see, but it is far from that.
For a beginner - just learn what most popular mushrooms grow in your area and try to learn 3-5 of them, that is it.
Or as simple as just learn one like Boletus edulis and only pick it.
