I saw a show not too long ago "Bizzare Foods" on the travel channel. They were in North Carolina looking for local foods. One guy had this spot where he got all kinds of crazy mushrooms. One that when ground, you could make "coffee" out of, I can't remember them all, but it's something I would not feel brave enough to try hunting myself, even with experience.
Those morels do look delicious. I stick to the crimini (baby bella) in the supermarket, because I didn't pick them lol and they have a great flavor. They're great with steak. Here's my recipe:
Cut off the stems of the mushrooms. Saute some olive oil and butter (be generous, they will soak it up like a sponge), with garlic, some chopped parsley or Italian herbs of your choice, but just a little. Add some coarse salt, fresh ground pepper and then the mushrooms. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Saute them until they get a little soft. Then, add a can of beef broth (I like Campbell's Condensed). Just cook it for a few minutes. Serve it with steak or whatever you like. It's pretty garlicky, but I've even eaten it the next day as kind of a soup. Dunk some bread in and you're good to go.

No! There is not. Garlic is one of Gods greatest creations and so are mushrooms and black olives.
If you want to pick mushrooms and not have to worry about which is poison, get yourself a pet pig. A pig will not eat a poiaon mushroom and they can smell them out for you.
Survival school says "You art not Chef Tell so stay away from Mushrooms".
I fondly remember my dear old grand pops (RIP) when he had to take garlic pills. If you've ever smelled a 70 year old hot and sweaty man on garlic pills then you would know there is a such thing as too much garlic.

Yeah that "Bizzare foods" is crazy I saw one where he was eating rotten tofu and he couldn't get it down,then he ate 1000 year old eggs that guy is nutz! I love that show
Yeah he is as unsavory as the foods he eats. I wonder why they never show him with food poisoning on any of the shows. Had to have happened. I should have guessed the garlic pills made you smell like it. I was going to try them once because the box promised you wouldn't smell like garlic. Glad I didn't. I LOVE pickled garlic. I hardly ever eat it because it makes me smell so bad lol. Ask Joe.

George ...are there any good mushroom hunting forums or resources? so i could read up some more..I am always down for a good treasure hunt. also do you know if they sell the spores online and you can seed areas? I just dont want to end up eating the wrong fungus..and waking up on GlassMan (Jamie's) porch with that cat he lost in the summer of love..and listen to his dog talk about politics again..[
