right mushrooms and other edible plants in the wild? thanks Pankaj |

Pankaj,
I strongly suggest that you *never* try to identify the edible mushrooms from the poisonous ones -- as I understand it, there is no room for error. If you can find some who knows about mushrooms, go with him/her; if that person finds some, eat what that person eats. Anne Lurie NE Raleigh "Pankaj Chopra" wrote in message ...

While mushroom poisoning is a serious thing, there are several VERY tasty species in NC which can be identified easily and with very high confidence. If you learn those you can have some great and safe hunting and then eventually and cautiously branch out to the more difficult-to-identify species. If you can find some who knows about mushrooms, go with him/her; if that person finds some, eat what that person eats. There may also be something available through NCSU. A quick google turned this up: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/pp/not...04/gpin004.htm It's a bit out-of-date (the NC poison control is now in Charlotte and not at Duke, and I'm not sure if Dr. Averre is still alive - if he is and you talk to him, *don't* tell him I said that), but he and Dr. Grand have a lot fo mycology smarts between them and love to encourage newcomers. -- Susan Hogarth Buy some raffle tickets or else! http://www.tribeagles.org/raffle/ |
