Eating wild mushrooms for tastiness not trippiness[views:8430][posts:26]__________________________________ [Sep 11,2011 11:39pm - Doomkid ""] Ever heard of the giant puff ball? Its this crazy mushroom, looks like this: [img] Thats just a small one though, they apparently can become as large as beach balls. Anyway, they're also pretty damn tasty to consume. They taste sort of like a weird combination of chicken and portabello mushroom when fried as I did this weekend. Thought some of you might be interested since they're a wild local mushroom. We picked this one out of my friends yard on Friday. TL;DR: cool story bro. [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] |

I bet slicing it and then marinating/grilling one of those fuckers would be tops. I would do garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper , balsamic vinegar ... Shit would be so cash |

| _________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 1:47am - Doomkid ""] This one has no poisonous look-alikes so its pretty safe. After discovering the growth I checked them out and they're actually recommended for people who want to start gathering mushrooms in general. (because apparently that is a thing) |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 2:04am - late_rising ""] this is relevant to my interests. any hints as to where these can be found growing in the wild in Eastern MA? |
| _________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 2:11am - Doomkid ""] There's been a large bloom under a random bush at my friend's house in Arlington, but aside from that I am unsure. However I hope to be tossing a couple of the mature ones under other bushes and in good possible growing locations in Cambridge and Allston in the next few days. They each contain a few trillion spores... Regardless, other than that one spot I've never seen them in MA before. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 10:58am - Doomkid ""] While the bottom of this mushroom was nasty, it was just like cutting off a bad bit of an apple. But yeah, I guess seeing a weird white ball on the ground the size of your foot and thinking "I wonder if I could eat that" is not a normal response. |

| ___________________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 11:57am - largefreakatzero ""] Nice, I loves the mushrooms. Looks tasty. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 12:08pm - sxealex ""] i mean that was probably pretty bland if u didnt marinade it no? |
| __________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 12:22pm - Doomkid ""] We rolled in in bread crumbs w/scrambled eggs and garlic before cooking. It was actually pretty flavorful on its own, next one I want to cut into bigger pieces so the breading:mushroom ratio is lower. The texture was what was ridiculous though, I saw it described elsewhere online as a "marsh-mellow center" but it was really more like a perfectly textured almost-melted cheese. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 12,2011 12:23pm - the_reverend ""] I would rather marinade a sock. |
