Emerald If you are worried about the honey mushrooms par boil them for about 3 minutes first before you cook with them. I am told that will draw out some of the toxins making them less upsetting. You have to make sure to cook them for about 15 minutes and that should eliminate any problems...

There is money to be made foraging. Some food co-ops will buy wild foods especially berries and mushrooms. I have a friend whos kids picked and sold blackberries to a local supermarket and made pretty good money doing it. On that same not I have sold $250 worth of mushrooms in the last week...

definately check into the postage thing. I can ship a drop spindle whick doesn't weight that much priority mail for 5.15 as long as the package doesn't get over a pound. It hinges greatly on package size.

took a 5 mile hike this afternoon with my dog and it turned out to be quite lucrative. I found about 20 more lbs. of chicken mushroom, about 6-8 pounds of maitake mushroom, and about 5 pounds of Honey mushroom. :D The beauty of it all is I already have about 15 pound sold. What ever doesn't...

Rhett, I have never had spotted cow. My brother has and I know he likes it. I heard about it after I quite drinking. Java Leinies an d Point are 2 fairly well known Wisconsin brews. I will have to dig out my recipe and take a look at it. It has been a long time since I have made batch. It is...

Just a few of yesterday's bounty. I actually fried these up last night. I picked about 4 lbs. of these honey mushroom buttons. They were growing in a local park. I only picked a very small fraction of what was there. The rest are to small yet to mess with but after a few days of sunlight they...

As a pure bred cheese head i must say there is no finer soup that i know of :D That is a little different than what I am used to though. I don't recall ever having it with potatoes and sausage in it but I'll bet it would be just as good. To make it real Wisconsin BEER cheese you must use Leinies...

just took another batch of chicken mushrooms out and peeling apples to load it up agian. I sure do love my $80 Excaliber it has only sat idle for long enough to get teh next batch of goodies ready since I got it

Olive oil or Veg. oil. put it on like soap and rub it around. It will neutralize and disipate the pepper oils which is causing the burning. Actually it doesn't neutralize it it dilutes it. Nothing else will actually dilute it to stop the burning faster

I process my own and keep the roasts and back straps. The rest gets ground for jerky or sausage which I have done for me. A few years back I was introduced to venison bacon. OH my goodness. This year I will have most of my trimmings made into bacon. Keep the bones and trow them to the dog.

Today's bounty. I loaded my little Yuka pack as full as I could and carried 1 three pounder out in my hands. I added a couple pounds to the five pounds DW brought home yesterday to fill my new to me Excaliber dehydrator. I have three pounds sold already to a local food co-op and am waiting on a...

:ya Yeah- I got it. I showed up to look at it and it was in like new condition. I played dumb and told the guy I couldn't remember what he wanted for it and he told me $100( he had it listed for $125). He asked me what I would give him and I offered him $80 and he never batted an eye.:D It is...

I have been mushroom hunting for about 10 years now and quite honestly there are alot of mushrooms out there that scare the crap out of me. I have positively ID'd tons of edibles but I can't push my self to eat them. Like Pat said I tend to stick to the ones that have no dangerous look alikes or...

What! peaches don't grow up there? Hahaha I don't know of any place you could have your mushroom ID'd. The best thing to do would be to latch on to someone who is familiar with the local crop and have them ID it. The saying goes there are old mushroom hunters and there are bold mushroom...

Movin' to the country, gonna eat alot of Peaches! HaHaHa That would be The Presidents Of The United States of America if I remember correctly. Actually I have two different mushroom books that I cross referance. If I can not absolutely positively ID them I won't eat them. I tend to hunt for and...

I am looking at a excaliber 9 tray dehydrator and they are asking $125 for it. Is that a fair price? I have access to about three 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes and would really like to dry some of them but don't have a dehydrator.

DW went on a 2 day backpack trip and brought me home a present. sulfur shelf or chicken of the woods mushroom top view bottom view This is just half of one of two mushrooms growing on one tree. I will be sauteing and freezing part of it and dehydrating the rest to make mushroom powder and...

two years ago I made wind chimes for everyone. They had hand turned spalted maple tops and brass chime tubes. Last year I made oak and cedar plaques and DW woodburned family names on them. This year I am going to make some turned bowls and some hand-carved bowls and DW is going to try her hand...

So I am at the grocery store tonight and I noticed in the dairy section they had Lifeway kefir. Thanks to every one here I have been curious about it and had to buy some. They had blueberry, strawberry and one other flavor and I settled on the blueberry. When I got home I opened it up and tried...
