Wild Mushrooms

Personal experiences... False Chantarelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) is usually marked as poisonous and/or inedible. However as it wasn't marked that way in the early 70s, I've eaten lots with the only result being that I had a delicious meal. Location: Headly Heath, North Downs, under bracken. It *can* be hallucigenic to some people: others eat them with no (ill) effect. Shaggy Parasol ((Macro)Lepiota racodes) is often marked as edible. I've eaten it and found it delicious. On a different occasion, however, it caused my entire alimentary canal to rebel - maybe it is significant that it was growing under laurel. Shouldn't think the laurel had anything to do with it - I have eaten many M. rhacodes from beneath laurel. M. procera looks very similar, but M. rhacodes (allegedly) is poisonous to a small proportion of humanity. I can eat the yellow-staining mushrooms with no ill effect - but I leave them alone, as I have some evidence that their effect can be cumulative. Talking of which, if you are using an old guide (or one written by Lange), Paxillus involutus (brown roll-rim) is cumulatively deadly. Conclusion: wild food is indeed wild. Especially when you've just shot it. -- Rusty Hinge |
