Tuesday.
Another fine autumn day. It's been a pretty golden October so far.
I don't have much to say about the day, but I will introduce you to yet another mushroom to fill this report with some value.
Let's talk about coprinus comatus, the so-called "shaggy ink cap":
This mushroom is quite common around here and it usually grows in great numbers. At a young age it can bleed bright red when damaged. That young age, though, only lasts for a day or two while the cap emerges from the ground and is still completely closed.
Technically it's a well edible mushroom, but you'll have to be quick. On day three or four when the cap starts opening, these shrooms start becoming rather gross immediately.
The cap will melt away into a nasty black slime, it is a rather uncommon way to spread those spores. It's really a sticky nasty black mess... definitely not appetizing at all.
On another note, I also came across the biggest parasol mushroom I've seen this year:
This thing, slightly past its prime, was humongous. Probably 10-12 inches, it could fit on a record player. Here's my hand for scale:
Thanks for your time!

Wow more mushrooms! What a large one that is! The shaggy ink ones are pretty interesting. So cool you know so much about mushrooms. I'd probably just buy ones that are sold commercially. LOL! Enjoy your day and happy midweek! :)

to be honest, I barely ever eat foraged mushrooms myself. It's quite an effort to pick and prepare the good ones for cooking. Mushrooms are shelter and food to many little insects and their larvae so you have to thoroughly inspect every single mushroom and clean them well (without using water) before cooking... it's just soooo much easier to buy cultivated mushrooms that come without the added protein.
meow!
