st george's are fairly easy to id .
spring, grassland, pale buff, plump, with a indented edge to the cap. nowt else that is nasty fits the bill.
blewits, the lilac stem is unique among shrooms in their habitat and autumn timing
velvet shanks , purple stem, orange cap, frosty weather, grow on dead or dying trees. again nowt to confuse them with.
all delicious.
with the 'cybes dinner or dead can require a microscope ( which is not standard kitchen equipment )
there are some really nice agarics but a heavy shower can make at least one nasty pass for a delicious one
etc etc .
the better foraging guides have a "can be mistaken for " list which is handy .
something that has killed folk is that an edible shroom in one place can look like a once only one on a different continent . iirc several chinese folk have come a cropper by picking a familiar shroom that wasn't what they thought it was having moved to europe. |
