Foraging Field Mushrooms & Making Mushrooms On Toast

We went for a lovely walk today through pastures and fields, and picked a whole big basketful of field mushrooms (Agaricus campestris).
There are many ways to enjoy this fine edible fungus, but one of my favourites is just to simply cook them in their own juices, and serve on top of slices of toast.

Who would like to see a mushroom identification lesson video from Mr.Shrimp?

[@cubinglab6332]

Mr. Shrimp, if you see this comment, I think I speak for most people when I say this is a great idea!

[@EggBastion]

I'm _fairly_ sure that if Mike was comfortable shouldering that considerably onerous burden (liability?) we'd have had more'n one video on the subject by now.

[@dogwalker666]

I would suspect the legal implications could be problematic.

[@WDC_OSA]

@@EggBastion yes. I think that if people are interested in identifying mushrooms themselves, he'd be more likely to encourage them to get a comprehensive local book on the subject.

[@AtomicShrimp]

Yeah, I don't want people to think I am an expert at this. I know enough to keep from poisoning myself, but some of that is sort of embedded in my head in a way as I fear I might fail to fully communicate

[@Yuti640]

Honestly, just the fact that you’re considerate enough to only let your dog run on fields with no lifestock and the fact that you spend your time just doing great things (like obviously your scambaiting videos) is amazing You’re really a great person and you deserve this popularity since your videos are just fun and interesting!

[@unnamedchannel1237]

Porcus got chased by a dog tonight but the guy called his dog back and it went back. The next dog chased her and attacked her. Could only see a graze on her foot I think the dog was pulling on her harness. It broke my heart because on the way back it was almost like her spirit was broken . Up until now she was care free when I took her for a walk. On the way back there was fear in her eyes .

[@booboyBL]

I prepare mushrooms exactly as you do, but I don't cut quite so much of the stalk off. IMHO the stalks are the tastiest part. Many years ago, a local shop sold the stalks separately. I think most people used them for soup though. A friend used to discard the stalk entirely, and PEEL the cap. Sacrilege!

[@alixtheprofessionalcatherd6850]

I prefer the stalks over the caps on these mushroom

[@Richjack3]

With some species, both the cap and stipe is favoured. Other species only the cap is consumed (as the stipes are too fibrous usually), and with some the mushrooms are grown in such a way to have more stipe than cap, as they're favoured over the cap itself. Fascinating stuff.

I was introduced to fresh sage leaves fried in brown butter (over pasta) by an Italien boyfriend many years ago and have since delighted many other people with this simple, yet delicious culinary surprise. It goes well with meat and fish and (I'm sure) also mushrooms.

That "meatyness" you describe in your mushrooms near the end is 'umami', the tongue's response to glutamates. Mushrooms are one of many foods that are rich in umami flavor.. others being yeast extract (marmite), cheese, and preserved fish to name a few.

Please enjoy them for me, too. My favorite foraging spots have all burned up in the Northern California lightning complex fires. :( I can hardly wait till they come back!

[@dogwalker666]

Is that what caused fires ?

[@paigeb1318]

@@dogwalker666 Hi. Yes, the recent ones in CA, that are still going on in the Central Coast area, were started by lightning, though I heard one was arson. :( The storm woke me around 3am. It was THE WORST lightning I've ever heard or seen. It went on and on and on, and rattled the whole house. There was no rain at all (near me). I live on the coast, but the redwoods are nearby, and that's where the lightning hit. This fire is called CZU August Lightning Complex, because there were multiple strikes and fires that grew together. It was 26% contained yesterday. The good news is that the big redwoods often survive fire. I'm letting your video play as I type, and you just got to the good eating part. Nice! Next time you go foraging, spare a thought for us here, and give those shrooms a smooch!

Mushrooms on toast us my all time favourite thing to eat. I like my toast buttered too. As a child, (one of 9) my Dad would grow mushrooms in big buckets in the cellars. He also used to pickle onions and I've still never found any commercially pickled onions that could beat his.

If I were there with you I would never take these mushrooms, and I think you too with mine.

Still, I cook them (Edit: regular yucky fungi) for my significant other with all the love of a fungi aficionado while hating every aspect of them (the things we do for love). Wood ear doesn't share any aspect of all other mushrooms. I recommend trying if you ever feel like it; it's a texture thing more than a taste thing really.
