Morphological characteristics of the caps of mushroom, such as those illustrated in the above chart, are essential for correct mushroom identification. A large number of mushroom species are favored for eating by mushroom hunters. The is a popular delicacy. (also known as chicken mushroom and chicken of the woods) is often gathered because it occurs in bulk, recurs year after year, is easily identified, and has a wide variety of culinary uses.,,,, and are among the most popular types of mushrooms to gather, most of these being fairly simple to properly identify by anyone with practice. Much more care, education, and experience is typically required to make a positive identification of many species, however, and as such, few collect from more dangerous groups, such as, which include some of the most in existence. Many on mushrooms are available, but the ability to identify and prepare edible mushrooms is often passed down through generations, especially in the Slavic countries. Identification is not the only element of mushroom hunting that takes practice; knowing where and when to search does as well. Most mushroom species require very specific conditions. Some only grow at the base of a certain type of tree, for example. Transplantation: Mining Mycelium from Wild Patches. Inoculating Outdoor Substrates with Pure Cultured Spawn.

Finding a desired species that is known to grow in a certain region can be a challenge. Safety issues [ ]. Is a typical little brown mushroom, and is easily identifiable only by distinctive microscopic features. 'Little brown mushrooms' (or LBMs) refers to any of a large number of small, dull-coloured species, with few uniquely distinguishing characteristics. As a result, LBMs typically range from difficult to impossible for mushroom hunters to identify. Experienced mushroomers may discern more subtle identifying traits that help narrow the mushroom down to a particular genus or group of species, but exact identification of LBMs often requires close examination of microscopic characteristics plus a certain degree of familiarity or specialization in that particular group. For mycologists, LBMs are the equivalent of LBJs (') and DYCs (') that are the bane of ornithologists and botanists, respectively. 'Big white mushroom' (or BWM) is also sometimes used to describe groups of difficult to identify larger and paler agarics, many of which are in the genus. Psychotropics [ ]. Forest-picked mushrooms at a Ukrainian market in, • In the United States mushroom picking is popular in the Appalachian area and on the west coast from San Francisco Bay northward, in northern, and, and in many other regions. [ ] • British enthusiasts today enjoy an extended average picking season of 75 days compared to just 33 in the 1950s. • In countries and countries, mushroom picking is a common family activity. After a heavy rain during the mushroom season whole families often venture into the nearest forest, picking bucketfuls of mushrooms, which are cooked and eaten for dinner upon return (most often in omelettes with eggs or fried in butter) or alternatively dried or for later consumption. Festivals [ ] The popularity of mushroom picking in some parts of the world has led to mushroom festivals. The festivals are usually between September and October, depending on the mushrooms available in a particular region. See also:, and Many mushroom guidebooks call attention to similarities between species, especially significant if an edible species is similar to, or commonly confused with, one that is potentially harmful.

Examples: • False chanterelles ( ), as the name suggests, can look like real chanterelles ( cibarius) to the inexperienced eye. The latter do not have sharp gills, but rather blunt veins on the underside. Misidentification in this case is not likely to prove significantly dangerous, as false chanterelles are considered edible, but unpleasant tasting. Mild symptoms have been reported from consuming them. Conversely, the is often mistaken for a chanterelle, and it is potently toxic. • True morels are distinguished from ( Gyromitra spp. And Verpa spp.). False morels have caps attached at the top of the stalk, while true morels have a honeycombed cap and a single, continuous hollow chamber within. • Immature can be confused with edible mushrooms. • Immature are generally edible, but care must be taken to avoid species such as and immature s. These can be identified by cutting a puffball in half and looking for a dark reticulated or the articulated, nonhomogeneous structures of a gilled mushroom, respectively. • Highly poisonous and some species can resemble, and the species are observed growing alongside each other. Psilocybe species are not deadly but contain the alkaloids psilocybin and psilocin, known to cause hallucinogenic effects; therefore it is often sought for use as a recreational psychedelic drug. Eating poisonous species [ ] There are treatments to reduce or eliminate the toxicity of certain (but not all) poisonous species to the point where they may be edible. For instance, are deadly poisonous when eaten raw or incorrectly prepared, but their toxins can be reduced by a proper method of parboiling. Prepared in this way, this mushroom is widely used and considered a delicacy in many European countries, although recent research suggests that there may still be long-term health consequences from eating it. Commonly gathered mushrooms [ ]. A large hen of the woods () specimen found in New York state. Commonly gathered species, grouped by their order, are as follows: mushroom species mentioned in each group are listed at the end of the paragraph using the following convention: Latin name (common English names, if any). [ ] The genus, usually the, and, to a lesser extent, the M. Rhacodes are highly regarded, especially in Europe, being very palatable and very large, with specimens of M. Procera as high as one metre being reported. • also known as the table or button mushroom. Sales of this mushroom in 1996 reached $209 million in. Another well known mushroom known as the portobello is a large brown strain of this fungus. • (shaggy ink cap) decomposes into ink, and hence are prepared soon after picking and only young specimens are collected. While being a general mushroom hunting guideline, the avoidance of specimens growing in areas with high is especially important with this family, as it is a very effective pollutant absorber. • (parasol mushroom) [ ] While the family of Amanitas are approached with extreme caution, as it contains the lethal and, those confident in their skills often pick the, which is highly prized in and to a much lesser extent in Russia, accounted by some not to superior taste, but to its relation to the, which is not found in Russia, but was considered a delicacy worthy of the emperor in. • (European blusher) • (Caesar's mushroom) [ ]. The, a common and popular mushroom, especially in Europe, is a choice edible and unique mushroom. It is very rarely infested by or, has a unique appearance, and when rotting, the decomposed parts are easily distinguishable and separable from those that are edible. • (chanterelle, yellow chanterelle, pfifferling) [ ] The is considered poisonous, but can be consumed if dried and stored for over a year, according to Slavic literature, and can be used to supplement or replace (see Morchellaceae below) mushrooms, while Western literature claims that even the fumes of the mushroom are dangerous. It is similar to morels both in appearance and palatability. • (false morel, beefsteak morel, lorchel) [ ]. A basket of The morel, is highly prized in Western Europe, India and North America. It is significantly less prized in Slavic countries where, like the Gyromitra esculenta, is considered marginally edible with mediocre palatability. Boiling the mushroom and discarding the water is often recommended. • (morel, yellow morel) [ ] Members of the genus, as the name suggests, lactate a milky liquid when wounded and are often scoffed upon by Western literature. The is however regarded as one of the most palatable mushrooms in Slavic culture, comparable to the Boletus edulis. Also considered as similarly palatable are the species and particularly. Thermal treatment may however be necessary in some cases. Slightly less appealing due to its bitter taste is the. • (saffron milk-cap) • (pepper cap) • (black pepper cap) • (wooly milk-cap) [ ] The family includes over 750 species and is one of the most common and abundant mushrooms in Eurasia. Their cap colours include red, brown, yellow, blue and green and can be easily spotted. The species, one of the many red-capped varieties, is one of the most common, is reasonably palatable and can be eaten raw. The edible Russulas have a mild taste, compared to many inedible or poisonous species that have a strong hot or bitter taste - but notice that the deadly poisonous Amanita phalloides, Amanita virosa and many other poisonous mushrooms have mild taste! The (the sickener) is known to cause gastrointestinal upset and has a very hot taste when a small bit is placed on the tongue. Due to their abundance they are however often regarded as an inferior mushroom for hunting, since they may be eaten if. • (Russula) [ ] • (honey mushroom, shoestring rot). The genus, with the popular species A. Gallica and A. Mellea, being so similar that they are rarely differentiated, are palatable, highly abundant mushrooms. Generally found on decaying, they grow in very large quantities and are easy to spot and identify, arguably reducing the fun and challenge in mushroom hunting. • (oyster mushroom). It is the most commonly picked tree-dwelling mushroom and is often also artificially cultivated for sale in grocery stores. This sturdy mushroom can be quite palatable when young. Growing these mushrooms at home can be a profitable enterprise and some Russians engage in the activity. The highly sought-after pine mushroom, found in forests in in autumn • - = syn. Nauseosum, the rare red pine mushroom that has a very fine aroma. Its fragrance is both sweet and spicy. They grow under trees and are usually concealed under fallen leaves and the duff layer. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a limited number of tree species. In Japan it is most commonly associated with Japanese red pine. However, in the Pacific Northwest it is found in coniferous forests of,,, and. Farther south, it is also associated with hardwoods, namely and forests. The Pacific Northwest and other similar temperate regions along the Pacific Rim also hold great habitat producing these and other quality wild mushrooms. Bergius and E. Danell reported that Swedish ( Tricholoma nauseosum) and Japanese matsutake ( T. Matsutake) are the same species. The report caused the increased import from Northern Europe to Japan because of the comparable flavor and taste. Matsutake are difficult to find and are therefore very expensive. Moreover, domestic productions of Matsutake in Japan have been sharply reduced over the last fifty years due to a pine, and it has influenced the price a great deal. The annual harvest of matsutake in Japan has since further decreased. The price for matsutake in the Japanese market is highly dependent on quality, availability and origin. The Japanese matsutake at the beginning of the season, which is the highest grade, can go up to $2000 per kilogram, while the average value for imported matsutake from China, Europe, and the United States is only about $90 per kilogram. • The is a prized mushroom in North America. British Columbia exports large quantities of this mushroom overseas to Asia where it is in high demand. See also [ ]. • Ho, Marco H. K.; Hill, David J.
