Overnight they grew...




On Monday I inspected the property for any sign of edible shrooms. None to be seen. On Tuesday it rained a good deal. Today, (Weds.), I looked again and a number of boletes and about nine other types had "mushroomed" out in many places. We cut one of the boletes and are cooking it tonight. The very white one may be an agaricus and poisonous so we did not harvest it.

Ate some wild mushrooms...


They were boletes and we have a patch of them near the house. RA fried one up in olive oil. It was OK. I have not seen them on the property before but maybe that is because we have not been here on the first of November. A few small marks were on the fruit or cap of the shroom suggesting it was shared earlier by a small creature. Maybe we will try another one tomorrow.
