Only if you have first *positively* identified them as being an edible species. What is it with the British and mushrooms? Everything is viewed with suspicion and only nasty shrink wrapped buttons are eaten. In France and Germany whole families go mushrooming. I did as a child.And if there was anywhere around here where mushrooms grew, I would be out gathering them. But yes make sure that the mushrooms are not one of the tiny minority which might make you ill. As someone who actively prefers many of the wild ones to anything that you can buy, and used to do that when I lived in an area it was feasible, may I respond? There are a few fungi that will really spoil your day. Amanita phalloides looks very like a field mushroom when young, and will not make you ill for 12-24 hours afterwards. However, you will probably die a few days later - as far as I know, there is still no treatment for the general organ failure that it causes. Oh, and it is fairly common in grassland, including lawns. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
