Fungi in New Zealand...

[manda]

June was talking about fungi they had seen whilst out walking ...some fabulous photo's
Here

So I thought I'd show you what we found in the paddock...and we're having for tea tomorrow night


I put the mug next to them for perspective...they should be enough for us with some venison steaks eh?

Looks a much safer bet than June's top picture, though not as pretty.
But are the species the same, so far away, and are they native or introductions?

[manda]

No not as pretty Mo but yummy

They're native to NZ...I think

They look huge Manda. I hope they eat as good as they look.

Mmmmm Lovely Manda


Im off to collect some mushrooms tomorrow.... and then i shall queue up at the pharmacy for the pharmacy man to check that i have no nasties... yay!

[manda]

Had them tonight with Venison steaks, Asparagus and Baked Potato....and they were yummy

Sara, I wish our pharmacy would do that. Lots of fungi grow in our garden but I am way tooooo scared to eat them. I have a friend who is Thai, she tells me that if you cook a mushroom in with I bit of rice and it tints the colour of the rice then it it poisonous, if it doesn't change the rice colour it is safe to set. I am still afraid to try it.
