Umm...why would you want to eat that, if you don't know what it is?? That could be deadly!

It seems that he wants to know if it IS delicious to eat. I have no clue about that, but from what I have learned, like Frank said, do not eat it unless you know exactly what it is.

i do not want to know if it is delicious to eat i know that already as i eat them more then 2 years now. i always apply the mother in law trick to know if mushrooms are edible or not (its a 100 pct secure test). i want to know the name of this mushroom

I love that! The mother-in-law test!
My wife's family introduced me to picking and eating wild morel mushrooms when we started dating. I grew up in the outdoors (no, not raised by wolves as some of you may have speculated, but on a farm, hunting and fishing) but had never eaten any wild mushrooms. Needless to say, I was a bit leery of trying them but they assured me they'd been eating them for years. Of course, being a lover of all types of food, I couldn't resist. Let me just say that wild morels, sliced length-wise, soaked overnight in saltwater, then battered and fried are one of the tastiest foods I've ever eaten. I would certainly advise caution to those not familiar with mushrooms as some are very deadly. Ambiorix seems to know what he's doing, however.

Maybe Jarred will start another board for fungi.org (That's all I need is something else to collect, sheesh!)

For who want to learn the mother in law trick for safe mushroom:
1) You cook the mushroom with a little meat and give it to the dog of your neighbour, if the dog survives go to stage 2)
2) Cook the mushroom with some meat and give to your own dog if he survives go to stage 3)
3) Cook the mushroom in the evening soup of your mother in law if she is till there the next morning try it yourself
By the way i eat mushroom almost daily and i eat often a variety of Trichomolopsis(probably a tropical variety of the rusulla) and very strange (i was affected by cancer some years ago) all my tumors stopped growing now already for more then 8 years and some have been shrinking to a neglectable size. I do not pretend here they are a cure for cancer guys.

I did recently buy these books though:

I've been finding all sorts of mushrooms all these years and wanted some guides to them for ages... finally bit the bullet and stocked the library with the best mushroom books I could find, so the next times something pops up out there I can try and figure it out. The dog/mother-in-law mushroom test will come in handy, thanks Vandevijver for that!

Morels look like some sort of little elf brain but they are good. :ha: They grew around alot of places in Oregon where I grew up.
