[QUOTE 3342685, member: 259"]I got 5/7 so I wouldn't be too keen on coming round to my place for a nice mushroom risotto if I were you

Mushroom quiz[/QUOTE]
Same score as you; I'd guess you had the same answers, too. I don't think Jew's Ears are particularly delicious, simply edible, and although False Chanterelles aren't as nice as true Chanterelles, they aren't at all bad. Ridiculous comment after the quiz: "Well, knowing your Chanterelle from your False Chanterelle could be a lifesaver" Total BS!!!

3 but there was no option for stamping on any of them.

4, don't tell theclaud, she'll be furious. Until this I thought there was only button or chestnut.

4 for me and I still don't know which 4.......

6/7

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

correctly id'ed the poisonous one(s) but have a difference of opinion on what is tasty and what is not tasty but still edible!

 

[Markymark]

Yeah, I can indentify mushrooms, they're the brown slurry that gets left on the side of my plate when ordering a full English.

3/7 ... I knew one, as I have a packet of dried ones at home, given to me.

If they had a "Is this a mushroom, yes or no?" quiz, featuring mushrooms or tractors, I'd probably score better.

6/7. Although I would have said the Destroying Angel was edible until I remembered the name! Have seen Death Cap in the woods near my mum's. TBH I have her review anything I pick, she ain't been wrong yet.

I picked some once that, according to the book, were toxic to some people, yet others could eat the mushrooms quite happily, and the only way to tell was to eat one! We buried them...

I'm not doing this @User259, it's too middle class, alternative, Guardian reader for me. @rich p can have my go.

I did Rocky, 4/10, but I'm probably dying now - should done the quiz before I cooked my foraged lunch...

Isn't that a kind of contraceptive device?

Yeah, ones with a nice pattern on them.

4 out of 7..... but your safe if you come round to my house for a meal as I pick my mushrooms from the shelf in Morrisons.....

 

[rich p]

Yeah, ones with a nice pattern on them.

Do they do shitake flavoured condoms?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I had shitakes once, recommend imodium.
