Mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere!Just outside our new offices, there is a small strip of grass between the parking lot and the Fraser River. This little strip of green is home to the biggest mushrooms I have ever seen. Some of these monsters measure up to 8" in diameter.
If some appear to be damaged, they are, as I forgot to look where I was walking.
The come in a variety of shapes and sizes, domes, cups, flat, big and small (although I suspect the small ones are just catching up). And different colors as well. I wonder if the vibrant color means "Don't dare eat me!" like it usually does with frogs, toads and numerous insects. How does one tell which mushrooms one can make into a soup or include in a steak and mushroom pie?
Perhaps the best thing is to leave them where they are, and purchase my veggies from the supermarket.

I am no expert on mushrooms - but I know a man who is! Do you want me to ask him what they are? Oh, and watch where you are walking next time!
Thanks for the offer, but I honestly don't think I could eat any of them. Not only because they are still in their infancy, but I have lived too long with the thought that all wild mushrooms are killers! I think I will just watch and see how large they get.
Go for it, and I want to see the results after you have eaten them... maybe you did eat these before your recent footie predictions ???
love the classic red and white one, just need a pixie to be sitting on it !
Mmmm I think you are right to avoid them - I too was brought up to believe that there was danger in them there mushrooms! Very pretty tho - some of them!!
