Well its autumn, and its the season for mushrooms is it not?
Does anyone have any experience of picking wild mushrooms, I am really keen to do this but am slightly concerned about poisoning myself (or getting off my heed inadvertedly!)...
does anyone have any tips/advice/tells to tale?

Best go on a guided mushroom hunt to find out, the best book on the subject is VERY expensive and very big, i've yet to find a good pocket guide.
The number of poisonous mushrooms is actually quite low but there are a large number that are unpalatable.
unfortuanatly the poisonous ones are very poisonous.
I have a vivid memory of going out with my dad one Sunday morning when I must have been perhaps 7 or 8 years old, and collecting huge mushrooms with fluted black undersides and creamy tops from a field containing horses before taking them home for my mum to fry in the pan with bacon (and quite probably lard). My dad passed away nearly thirty years ago and I have no idea where it was though

I've not seen any of the recipes, I just found the site so you'd know what the ink caps look like. Pick them carefully (they damage easily) and lightly fry them.

Puffballs are fairly foolproof aren't they?
