Did you do a spore test before eating?

I guess I'm missing something here, why do a spore test?

These were awesome, though I dry sauteed the next one and I think cooking more moisture out of it made it better.  It also didn't need the butter for great flavor.

How do you spore test shrooms?

Back East they call them Teardrops, They are by far my favorite. You add them to a nice Ribeye steak cooking it, when done put the mushroom on your plate and throw the steak away.  Just kidding, The mushroom takes on the flaror of the steak and is so much better.
Any one finding these on the West Side"

I found a ton of them this year, look at dead trees and logs that's where I found them. Even on the cut ends of logs that have been down quite a while.  :tup:

by Margaret McKenny

Great book written by a UW Prof and has been reprinted and updated numerous times. I think it has been updated 5 times. all titles are some variation of savory wild mushroom. I have found older versions in a used book store CHEEP!

The books are good but going out with some one knowledgable is much better. One of my hunting buddies from Silver Arrow Bowmen used to belong to the mushroom club and does a good job of studying mushrooms when we find them hunting. The books are good at identifying the mushrooms but not necessarily when your out hunting. To be safe, if you find a large batch of shrooms you need to take several cell phone pics, take a few home to do some tests. Examination of the mushroom's physical appearance, a spore print, and its growing location are BIG indicators that narrow stuff down quick.

you should also only eat a small ammount of "safe" mushroom the first time you eatone... you could have a bad allergic reaction... Mushroom hunting is pretty cool onc you have the proper understanding and tools. good luck
