I make the same dish above and top it over fried tofu. Then I add some chopped spring onions on top and it’s done! :)

Vicky Go: I am in the Pacific Northwest…surrounded by mountains and the Fraser River. We have a 180 degree view of the River and Mountains from our bedroom window. April/May is Morel season…July/August is the start of the Boletes…depending on where you are…could be the start of the King Boletes…Chanterelles (fall mushrooms like the Pine (matsutake) late August or Sept. until the first frost…of course other edible ones like the hedgehogs, chicken of the woods, shaggy mane pop up in the spring/fall! I am not too keen on those ones. I only go for the lobster mushroom, Queen of the Forest mushroom which is the Chanterelle…But my favorite of all is the King Bolete!

Mushroom hunting season at the month of may is the best time to navigate the forest.wild mushrooms are the best and incomparable however you have to be very careful and needs simple learning, not all mushroom are edible! some are poisonous…..

@bettyq: wish I lived near you so I could take lessons on mushroom foraging! Where are you by the way? I’m in northern NJ, less than 20 min away fr Lincoln Tunnel via Rte. 3. Not much woods in our area – except for Brookdale Park & I don’t want to stray far from the blacktop paths because of dog poo – some people don’t pooper scoop! Nasty!

Psychomom: someone once told me that if the slugs eat the mushrooms that gorws on your lawn, then it MUST BE EDIBLE. But then I told her …what if the slugs ate them and then died somwhere else, she can’t be too sure if they are edible!

thanks bettyq! will definitely get a book. even sam (our black lab) stays away from some of them, maybe that is a sign that those mushrooms are not good… heheheh.

i bought a book about mushrooms and i was so fascinated by it.
at one time my family and i went foraging in the forest in
eureka just for fun. we found so many colorful kinds of
mushrooms….very interesting indeed! my son even found one
variety that looked like morels. even with a book as guide,
we didn’t dare to eat them…
