Wild Mushroom Risotto Anyone?


Having your own backyard for the first time opens your eyes up to a whole new world of stuff.
Like today, I noticed that there are 'shrooms sprouting up in random places on my lawn. Question is, are they edible, poisonous, or hallucinogenic? I don't think I'll ever find out, but if I had to rank them in order of what I'd prefer, I'd choose number one first, then number three, and number two last.

    J,

    Ew! There would have to be enough moisture and microorganisms in that carpet for 'shrooms to grow from it--so gross!

  5. Hey DG - Now that you would even think about eating them cracks me up! Someone once snuck some hallucinogenic "stuff" into my coffee.......and I obviously never recovered......

    I've got mushrooms in my yard too (not what I expected when I moved to L.A.). Most fortunately, mine are edible and fantastic.

  11. PCBH,

    well i just learned from "anonymous's" link that they're not, but giiiiirl, i think that thinking about shrek whilst on 'shrooms might actually be a bad trip. vodka might be better. LOL!
