I see what you did there
I was trying to avoid suggesting that I was still a fun guy, despite not appreciating what the thread was about

Would you like to draw us an original thread logo @Oaktavia ?
I can also help with that. I could make a vector illustration pretty easily.
You should go for it as I am tied up atm. If you have time
Edit: nice choice of the morel.

Armillaria mellea, Honey Fungus. These I found on our land and will pick them to harvest tomorrow morning. I find them incredibly beautiful and am excited to have found them. Will be my first time trying to eat honey mushrooms. Par boil and rinse before a saute.
Edit: after reading more about these awesome mushrooms online, I went out with a flashlight and picked them. The general consensus was to pick them early before the rings drop and the caps open fully. They also apparently can get infested with bugs. There were only a few on there. I rinsed them with cold water and they are trying on paper towels in my fridge.

They look great @Oaktavia, what dish will you serve them with? I am thinking risotto, creamy pasta or on sourdough with lots of butter and pepper.
Need the right wine pairing too.

@Bridger I have not tried honey mushrooms before so I just tried one cap after I sautéed them with salt, pepper and garlic with butter. I counted 41 caps but one I used for a spore print. The taste was similar to oysters and of garlic they were cooked in. The spore print was white which is a green light. I will wait 24 hours before consuming more, assuming my gut will be in the clear knocks on wood.

Sounds like a sensible approach @Oaktavia, you don't want to ashroom anything.
I hope all goes well

@steelworker it belongs to a fun guy.
🟫@Bridger you're going to hell
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
Well, I have others. -
