The smell of shrimp.
    #18968949 - 10/12/13 04:13 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I went for a little hike today hoping to stumble across some fall boletes.  Alas, I did not.  However, I did find a boondoggle of what I take to be shrimp russula. 

They were growing in a group pushing up pine needles under fir and ponderosa pine at around 5000 feet elevation in a kind of open area between large trees.

Judging from the smell on my hands that is a good ID.  However, as always, since I don't commonly pick these, I would like to hear from the experts.  Many thanks!!

It sounds like they are certainly a shrimp russula, but that doesn't nessesarily nail them down as the shrimp russula.

I'd love to tell you it doesn't matter, but I have insufficient experience and knowledge myself.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

Sure looks like them. I don't know what else they could be.
A book I have here says they should bruise yellow and finally brown.

There are microscopic suggestions as well. I can tell you if you like.

Those ones have always confused me.... russulas in general frustrate me.

I have yet to harvest any as I am always unsure if they are actually the shrimps or if they might be one of the many others that look like them...

I just tasted the caps and they taste outstanding and mild.  There is no bruising evident; perhaps a tiny bit of browning where I cut them at the bottom.  These are some handsome mushrooms, almost like boletes in appearance.  Nary an insect anywhere; they hadn't yet pushed completely out of the duff.

I think I am going to try a small portion and see how it goes.

Sounds like a plan. Exactly what I would do. :lol:

I would eat these... in small portions at first.  :cool:

They look excellent.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Those are SO delicious.  Very firm.  Mild nutty flavor.

It is tough to only have a little.  But I did it.

Putting the rest aside till tomorrow, when I'll know it's good to go.

They do taste like nuts don't they!  They are in the top 5 for me when it comes to edibles.

I think Russula's have a good texture. They don't reduce in size either which is good. They are also easy to clean since they don't soak up water. I've never tasted any choice Russula's though.

I can't believe I haven't had this mushroom before. 

I believe that is only because any time I've found them in the past, it's just one or two - not worth disturbing. 

But this was a super big "family" of them, all within a 20 foot radius.  The lumps in the duff reminded you of bolete hunting.  Untitled, you're right - they don't shrink much while cooking and are very firm. 

I am definitely adding this to my list of things to hunt in fall!

I DO promise to revisit this thread should I feel unwell later.  :smile:

Very good. I bet you will be fine though.
