We're up and off to radiation soon.

 

[Leadeye]

Slept late today but feel better, virus is fading, hope none of you pick it up anywhere. Going out to look for chantrelles after the rain today. They are good for breakfast with buttered grits on the side.

Morning

I'm not familiar with fall mushrooms. I'm afraid I would be eating toad stools

Top of the mornin', gangsters !

Chantrelles are easier to see but are not as widespread as Morels. Patience posted pictures of some from his yard. They closely resemble a toxic mushroom, the jack-o-lantern, but the easy ID is what they look like underneath and if they are growing on rotting wood.

Cooking is a little different, you heat a skillet hot with the mushrooms in it until the water is driven out of them and it stops hissing, then add a lot of butter and saute. After this they can be eaten or used in a variety of dishes.

A great culinary prize in high end cooking they have been used for centuries in Europe.

Feel this, I've lived on this planet for 24 years, with multiple near death experiences. My luck I'd be taken out by a dang fungus.

That's probably better than toad's stool.

A mere baby. As I've gotten older the near death experiences have become farther in between. The last one is coming soon enough. No sense rushing it.

I'm only interested if it's 60 million years old !

I hear the jack-o-lanterns glow in the dark and have gills. Chants have false gills and grow in the dirt. Am I right?

I identify as a young whippersnapper. I don't even go out looking for the near death experiences, they just somehow find me on my drive to work everyday haha

Jack-o-lanterns always grow on rotting wood, easy enough to avoid when you see the log they are on. Chantrelles always grow in the ground, but when I pick them I always take a hard look as they come out of the ground for a rotten log. Ad that to the other visual cues and it not that hard to get the right ones.

My bestie came home from work early on Thursday feeling poorly. By sat the flu had her temp to 103.5° by last night she said she was feeling better.
I'm just glad I'm in Mississippi.
