to fryday: I like how you warned me of the bugs. I started chopping it into cubes (with a non seraded knife) and potato bugs everywhere! I took it outside and cut the bad off of it. wiped the rest sparingly with a damp cloth and finished cubing it. I then decided no time like the present. I like your idea of sauteing it in butter to taste more of its flavor. I decided to go with a different method. i warmed some canola oil up and added some minced garlic and the cut pieces of the puffball. They smell soooo good. but might just be cause I like garlic lol. I am drying the rest in the oven on low with door cracked. Gonna make some giant puffball powder to add to soups etc :wink: just read about this method. reminds me of marshmallows the texture while handling.

Tasty! now that Ive tried it I see what all the fuss is about. they have a very distinct flavor. Its hard for me to describe. I like the taste and it reminds me of the fair for some reason. like funnel cakes. It has a marshmallow texture. quite good. Id eat it again providing Im healthier for it.

Looks like you cooked 'em purty crispy.  It's probably worth it to sample 'em at various cooking times, though I tend to cook mine thoroughly but not crispy.  I figure they're done when they've given up their moisture, further cooking just dries 'em out and burns the butter.

Got a bud who chops his chanties really fine and then sautes them in butter for like an hour.  They're like cardboard, I don't see the point.  ;-)

You've come a long way in a week.

XLNT!

Yeah may have cooked them too crispy. I always was told by grandma if you wonder if somethings safe to eat smell it, if it smells good, cook it then try a little bit and wait a while. Now Im a little wary since there are many poisonous mushies that survivors claim were really tasty! Yeah I feel Ive gone a long way too TY :smile: I have unlimited energy when hypomanic and I packed a months worth of hunting into a week lol. This forum is great Im working on rating members. Expect a good rating :wink:

Hey, thass cool, got some shrooms under my handle.  ;-)

I didn't think it would happen to me.

Yeh, you should probably get the "fastest up to speed" trophy.  Helps that you're on an atv - think of how long it would have taken you on foot.  I wish I had one here to get out on the dunes, I hear crazy tales of matsi in the sand.  But I think I've got it figured out, just need some rain and a nice temp drop, that'll happen soon enough.  I can't believe I can't wait for the rain and chill.  Not my usual MO and way too much to get done before the wet, spendin' all my time on the shroomery isn't getting that motorhome resealed.

haha I understand how work comes first. I often take impulsive action and put off the work for another day . Only because I can. I really love my atv. if I had to walk it which Ive done for years before owning a atv I would have still found somethings but most of it would get throwed out so I dont have to carry it. on the atv the pocket let me carry all I need, makes it sweetr :smile:
TY for the compliment I try :smile:

Man, I want to find something delicious. There are some pretty cool mushrooms around here, but I haven't yet found anything I could eat for dinner in decent quantity. Except once...I found an assload of B. edulis that had already turned. :thumbdown:

It feels good to find one outside and eat it, doesn't it? :grin:

Edit: Sorry...the "North American" B. edulis... :tongue:

I found my first b edulis before I had a clue about ceps...  fired me up, it was so tasty.  Now it's on my top 10 hit list.

Completely inaccurate however. There is no way of knowing from smell or taste if something is safe to eat or not. And I'm sure lots of people have been poisoned this way.

"Looks like mama was wrong again!" (waterboy) lmao yeah I agree lots of people poisoned that way. fry_day - thats cool you liked boletus edulis enough to put on your top ten :smile:

bittrbuffalo - sorry to hear you are having a hard time finding edibles in quantity. I havnt tried any b edulus. I found some under pine trees that look similar. too bad the ones u found had turned. Yes it feels great to find one outside and eat it!!! I do worry a tiny bit though but so far feelin great! :mushroom2:
