Re: What Whopper

It looks lovely Azure but I’m sorry, I can’t tell the difference between a mushroom and a toadstool...

Re: What Whopper

Not sure, but I believe mushrooms have brown 'gills' under the top, white gills are usually (but not always) poisonous.
I vaguely remember something about a 'skirt' round the stem too.

Unless you're postiive beyond any doubt, Azure, it isn't worth risking it to me.

P.S.
Just did a goodle, and found this for you.

I do love your titles Azure. Were you a script writer for the Carry On films?

It looks edible, but as neighbours cats use my Garden for Toilet, I do not think I can cook it and eat it, and they don't even bring their own toilet paper!

Re: What Whopper

We have lots of huge horse mushrooms around here this year , sadly they seem to contain little maggots so I resisted the temptation to eat them.
