My mushroom

[Keymaster]

I've been watching this mushroom grow in the yard for awhile now. Finally got out there to take a few pictures. It is about 5" inches in diameter. Gonna BBQ tomorrow, promise

 







Something took a bite out of it.....

I forgot to say I would never eat this mushroom and know nothing about eating wild mushrooms.  OK

I use to pick mushrooms in Hawaii in the cow pastures in the early 70's.  the air force had a private beach on the windward side of Oahu that no one used.  we would fish all night off the beach having fun.  we would then give the farmer fresh fish from the night before and he would let us mingle w/ the cows and pick mushrooms in the morning.  he was a nice man who would give us fresh milk and cheese.  we use to do that every weekend.  we use to cook the mushrooms in different dishes.   and sometimes we didn't.    it was the 70's.

We pick a couple I know here and they are good.  But never eat one unless I know for sure.

I remember hunting mushrooms in Hawaii in the 70's. Funny, they never made it to the sauté pan...

76-79 is a hazy memory...how I made it into the '80s is still a mystery to me..........
