Mushroom Hunting! Well, this sounds very peace loving sport. I have however never been in the woods hunting for these suspicious umbrella shaped fungi. Damp and rainy weather and relatively warm fall climate favor the growth of mushrooms. There is a wide colorful variety of mushrooms out there in the woods. Few are edible and few are super poisonous. It is good to have a thorough knowledge of the safe and deadly species before trying out the raw product from the wild. BTW you veggie lovers, Mushroom is also called chicken of the woods.
Ananya, Shalaka and me were out to take some pictures of fall colors and this mushroom was fitting very well into the fall color theme. We didn’t have enough information on edibility of this fungus, so we spared a colony. The universal edibility test I am aware of is to observe if the wild life enjoys it as their food. Will try and observe it some other time. For now I know for sure that I enjoy eating mushrooms.
