Something a wee bit different today. A cooking lesson....no seriously not haha!
These are a mushroom called Dryad's Saddle and they are edible! I made a lovely veggie stir fry with them. I am no expert on mushrooms at all, but these are really easy to spot and identify. I am still learning about mushrooms and it really is an extensive topic! Mushrooms are wonderfully healthy and tasty and pretty amazing really. There has been a lot of research done on them and how they communicate and how clever they are! I wonder, sometimes, if I should stop eating them due to this.
...I know nothing about mushrooms in the wild. Years ago I saw a cartoon that had mushrooms for sale at $2/pound and mushrooms? for 50 cents a pound!
ReplyDeleteSince I started taking photos of them I have been learning more of them in the wild. Always interested in what I can eat!
DeleteYour veggie stir fry looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

Thanks Jan, it really was tasty :-D
DeleteI'll bet they are really good. I'm no expert either. One of our blogging pals husbands (he recently died), was a world recognized mushroom expert and lectured around the world about them.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of his loss. It is something I really want to learn more about. That is amazing he shared his knowledge of them. Thanks Terry :-D
DeleteDryad’s Saddle is one of our most common mushrooms here, but I have never eaten it, even though I know it to be edible. A good friend of mine is an expert mycologist and is called to hospitals if poisoning is suspected, and even to court as an expert on the effects of mushrooms nefariously served!
ReplyDeleteIt is fairly common here too. You should try is sometime. That is so very cool David! Your friend certainly has an interesting job, I admire that :-D
DeleteHe is actually retired now, after a distinguished career at the University of Waterloo.
DeleteGood for him, sounds impressive :-D
DeleteMushrooms are new to me and I only started to eat them from the farmers market. Your salad looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill :-D
DeleteThat looks so exotic mushrooms! Would love a bite of that
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'd like it! They are good :-D
DeleteDear Ananka! I am no expert on mushrooms either and I am afraid to eat mushrooms if I don't buy them in shops.
ReplyDeleteI have to be really sure to eat the ones I pick! Thanks Irina :-D
DeleteNunca había visto esos hongos son muy lindos. Me dio ganas de tu salteado. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the look of it. Thanks :-D
DeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine :-D
DeleteThe salad seems delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt was, thanks :-D
DeleteI'd bet they'd taste good on a pizza!
ReplyDeleteOh they sure would haha! Thanks Kirk :-D
DeleteWell, maybe you don't have to stop eating them to appreciate them. :)
