Pluteus cervinus and other Pluteus species
    #5693338 -

Has anyone actually tried these before?

Every mushroom person that I've talked to has not tried them.

In my area, they are by far the most common mushroom. It frustrates me that the most common mushroom in my area is of no use. Why!? :mad2:

Every hunt that I go on, I find them in large numbers. Based on what I see in books, they don't exactly seem to be a choice edible or anything. Most sources say it's not worthwhile, one source even says that some people consumed some North American specimens and became ill.

After these years of seeing them, curiosity is starting to get the best of me. While some of them that I see have maggots or other bugs on the gills, there are still many that do not. I find some pretty meaty looking ones consistently. I have several dozen pictures of them in my photo gallery.

I doubt anyone will be able to share experience of eating them. Would surprise me if someone did.

In the past I would always follow common sense and not bother trying something if it wasn't going to be worth it. The past couple years, I've been taking on a newer and more dangerous way of thinking.

I've eaten strange species that commonly aren't eaten, ones that I was able to ID to exact species, hard to be able to list them all. Kind of just did it for the sake of being able to, rather than for a good taste. I think my hobby is making me crazy. I'm so obsessed that I just want to try new stuff, so I can add another notch to the list of things I've tried (after proper and confident identification of course).

Anyone understand where I am coming from?

I've eaten them Eris. The taste and texture on they're own isn't that great but they're ok cooked in a stew.

I've heard that they are only worth eating when very young and you tend to find them over-mature.

Keep your eye out for any with blue staining stems as they are psilocybin active. The bluing might be subtle. I've been looking for Pluteus salicinus spores for ages.

Of course you don't know italian but the text says that IN SOME TEXTS they're edible also if the taste isn't excellent(the taste is mediocre). they invite the people to eat something better ot Pluteus cervinus :

on mykoweb.com they give them for edible:

http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Pluteus_cervinus.html

perhaps different strains? edible an not edible?

if you can mate clone them and make sporeprints.

Hey Eris, I've tried a couple of them, Pluteus cervinus and P. petasatus by themselves and they don't taste too good by themselves, sort of radishy and not in a good way. Last year I had a soup with P. cervinus and Dryad's saddle and Wood ears and it was pretty good, so I agree with
Amatoxin by themselves, not good, mixed with other stuff, not bad.

I've also tried P. thompsonii and it was pretty good by itself. They are very small though. They are so small they aren't probably worth eating so they are
listed as unknown as an edible in Mushrooms of Northeastern North America by
Bessette. I tried to get a print, the caps hadn't opened far enough to make a good print. So this winter I went to the stump they were on and took some pieces of it and put them on cardboard, they contaminated, I tried antibiotic agar too, it also contaminated. Yeah, sometimes chasing mushrooms makes me a little, um, crazy.

I found this Pluteus this weekend the stem is about 2" long. The yellow stains happened where it had been touched.

Yeah, I know where your coming from  :smile:

I've tried numerous Russula species (Russula cyanoxantha, Russula claroflava, Russula aeruginea) just for the sheer hell of it. Interesting texture, kinda crunchy. They're quite popular in Finland although I think they like them salted or pickled there, might try that next time.

Awesome, just the replies I was hoping for. Thanks for the input guys.

Amatoxin, glad to hear that someone seems to think similar. :thumbup:
Good to hear from you.

Workman, I've been keeping my eye out.. I have known about the active Pluteus for a long time.. If I ever see any of them, I will be sure to either print, culture, or both.

Falcon, that's an interesting looking one. I don't think I have ever seen a yellow staining Pluteus in my area. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I hope things are well with you.

This thread is from 2006. It is best to start a new thread if you have a question you would to have answered, asking questions in old threads generally go unanswered by the original posters.
