Buck Knife and Mushroom hunting

Yep, I'm just up the road.

My ring is two longs and two shorts.

Give me a call.

Greetings guys.
And in Russia mushrooms salt, salty mushrooms are the better snack for vodka.
With vodka also it is good to have a salty cucumber.
If you have drunk a lot of vodka, next morning it is necessary to drink brine of salty cabbage for repaire a head and a braine.
In Russia here are such traditions.

Strange how traditions are different.

Here in America we avoid the cabbage and just drink tomato juice ......... with more vodka.

:D

Yes I know it. Mr. flatlander 1963 had explained it to me.:thumbup:
I know that it has called "Bloody Mary" (tomato juice with vodka).

I understand your humour in this phrase.:)
But remember we do not drink vodka from "SAMOVARS" in embracing with bears.

I've been cooking/eating a lot of homemade stews lately, I even made a special micarta handled fillet/kitchen knife to cut up the veggies...I just cant bear to use it on a mushroom though. :p Wont that hurt the steel? :rolleyes: Sorry, not a big fan of mushrooms, although your recipes make them sound tempting. Maybe a slice of breaded mushroom with a thick slice of spam on top?

I kinda thought that those stories might just be some capitalist propaganda!!!

Glad to hear it.

Hi sudonym -

Nice!

I went yesterday with a buddy - he was wearing his 80's Buck 119, and I had my JK Survival Kit.

We found two dozen yellows - they will be out more in the next two days I think.

I already ate my first mess of them - this evening with Filet Mignon - I made Filet Mignon in Morel Butter with brandy cream sauce.....Yum!

Mqqn, I don't know what the Morel taste like but the plate of food in your photo looks good . DM
 
Though, I've never went out and gathered mushrooms . Something I have learned from this posting is, in order to know what you guys are taking about one needs to live in an area that recieves spring rains . A clue as to why I'm at a loss on this topic ? DM
 
David,

No mushrooms for you, only cactus flowers. Morels are usually associated with the forested areas. Especially in moist areas or along stream courses. They appear early in spring for a week or two at the most and can be found year after year in the same locations. That is if you leave a couple to mature...and keep the locations to yourself.
Gathered by native peoples, pioneers learned to do the same. There are other mushrooms that are edible, some at specific stages. Some can cause brain injury besides bowel eruptions. So learn before trying. Mushrooms in the Ozarks are sometimes dried but often added fresh to stews, eggs or saute'd alone. I alluded earlier my favorite way was battered and fried with a nice mess of fish. Catfish, whitebass or crappie. Lots of info on the net about how and where to deal with them. Mushrooms along with all sorts of berries, greens (poke salad) and especially wild onions were a spring treat for both native and pioneer peoples. I currently am enjoying a jar of Scuppernong grape jelly (wild muscadine grape) I was gifted with for helping some poeple move. Now if I can just find those crappies.....Or drive down to Hawkeyes digs.

Thanks 300 for the history . My Grandmother made poke salad and Granddad muscadine grape wine . The first I enjoyed eating with home made bread and fried Crappie . The later I tasted after they'd gone to bed . Dew berries, I've eaten and wild onions . Just never these mushrooms . I had a bird dog once that probably would have made a good mushroom dog as he pointed most everything except quail . DM

oh look at all those beautiful chanterelles I am very envious. They are good pickled as well.
 
On the photo are mushrooms which have called "Foxes" in Russia .(because of colour and because of shape)
They have very good taste as fried in sunflower oil , as well salty.
It is true with vodka of course.:)
