Hunting Mushrooms with Dr. Cèpe Manatarka

One would find many glorious specimens of wild mushrooms near Mirror Lake, if one knew where to look.  Any young clean porcinis should be harvested, cleaned and sauteed in butter immediately.  When hiking local mountains, be sure to search for this famous fungi, but beware, many poisonous species lurk in the decaying trees as well.  As a general rule, if you don’t recognize it, don’t eat it.  Nature has a way of saying “Don’t Eat Me!!” visually, which is profoundly exemplified in the picture here.  Look like a bristling crustacean?  Don’t eat it!!

I hope to include but not limit to my adventures in food, (pastry, cooking, eating, drinking, kitchens, ) hiking, biking, skateboarding, snowboarding, backpacking, and generally being awesome. So tune in at your leisure to sample a little slice of my life…mrjeffmccarthy.com
