A quick visit to the forest...

[Tree Herder V]

Today for the first time since almost two months I found time to go for a hike. Found some moshrooms.
I have no idea how they are called in English, the brown one in Polish is called "borowik" very tasty and pretty hard to find. (The pictured one was foud by my girlfriend). The yellow one is called "kurka" - pretty common but also very tasty (especialy with onion and scrumbled eggs)
My DC warden is my new favorite mashrooming knife :thumbup:
Take a look:

So which of the shrooms made you high? I'm just kidding, no one in this country really eats the ones that gets you high. Well not me anyway.

I do love the eating variety of mushrooms though:thumbup:

Thanks for the great pics!!!

You shoud try the yellow one - they are very good:thumbup: The brown ones are the best dried and then added to a soup or sauce.

those yellow shrooms look just like Chanterelles :thumbup:. They're a cold weather mushroom here in Northern California, and I harvest them when they sprout up.

Those brown ones might be what we call porcini mushrooms. Do they have gills or does the underside of the cap look like a sponge?

The underside looks like a sponge. rbmcmjr - You are right - this is a porcini mashroom (I've found the English name with google help) :thumbup:
BootmasterGeneral - You are also right - kurka is in english Chanterelle or Yellow Chanterelle:thumbup:
Both are very tasty.
Here's a cool site about mashrooms with nice pics - in polish and english:

Thanks for nice comments guys. In two weeks I'm going on vacation and I'll spend two weeks in a forest - try to make some nice Busse forest pics.

Every time I see your pics I think... what a cool area you have to play in! Great pics!

I'd be afraid to eat any shrooms I find... don't know enough about them to risk it. It's cool that you know and can pick them fresh. :thumbup:

Funny story, but the short version is that my family took a three day course in wild mushroom identification one summer. I learned about four varieties that I can safely identify and feel confident that I won't poison myself. If they aren't one of those, I don't mess around with them.

One fantastic summer I worked at a summer camp in the Colorado mountains and I had wild mushrooms and fresh trout for dinner every other night for a week while the fungus was in season.

For some reason, mushrooms have been coming up out in the back yard lately. Can anyone identify these?

Also, a different variety came up in some mulch I'd bought. No discernible tops... just a big misshapen cylinder and very tough at that.

Guyon - the ones pictured are probably these:

or these:

the last ones when it's hot and dry become ligter brown and dry.
both are edible.
