Food scarcity

Eating wild mushrooms: It’s never worth the risk

I was teasing ..the good thing with mushroom is that they are mostly the same the world over, difference being the climate not the hemisphere or country.
And yes I have been picking agaric and bolletto species here in qldfor decades...fresh "cepes" and "bolets" with fully grass fed home steak ...
Yummy..
Few pure Aussies know anything about mushrooms,except for Italian/Greek and eastern European wogs.
Probably a result of mostly British background, non rural since the industrial revolution..

yes father came from NZ to Australia and realized he needed to trim the spending where he could , so many holidays were camping and gemology trips( sometimes to North Queensland ) and being stranded with little food while in the bush never appealed to him either

you would be amazed how much fun low-tech holidays can be ( and the parents saved enough to pay the house mortgage 5 years early )

You just do not know what they are

Magic mushrooms.....

apart from the rare toadstool ( and puffball ) all standard stuff smaller, fresher versions of what you buy in the supermarket ( grown in the paddock so you have to get them before the next rain ) have lived in rural areas before , and they haven't sent me tripping yet

free and edible are magic enough for me

You’ll know a magic mushroom, they taste like ****, but a bit of peanut butter can help disguise the taste

hmmm didn't know that , i normally eat them raw or lightly boil them in fresh water , but i DO flip them over to check the color underneath first

but rodents like peanut butter , maybe i can use the doubtful ones constructively

divs No tip-toeing through the tulips for you.
Paddock mushrooms cannot be beaten

yes they remind me , why rain is a good thing on a farm

Pity the bimboes on the commercial TV channels don't realise that rain is far more important than stting on a surburban beach sunning oneself.

Getting back to the concept of food scarcity, one of the results of food scarcity is often an increase in prices.
Thai rice is an important food in Asia, and its price has a huge impact on Asian eonomies.

it's like nature's gentle reminder to appreciate the simple joys of farm life, while it's pretty refreshing seeing those mushrooms pop up after a good downpour
