Not eaten it yet, but my folks just bought me a plate of fried fish in batter and chips.
Going to have some of the saffron milk-caps that I've spent all fucking day scrubbing clean of soil, pine needles and patches of the green mushroom flesh that the normally orange mushrooms discolor to, they have a really nice, firm texture and mild, pleasant flavour, very good eating according to the books, and having tried Lactarius deliciosus for the first time yesterday, roasted over an open flame until nice and crunchy, yet tender I am inclined to agree. Very tasty.
Got several 4-packs of white chocolate chip and honeycomb white chocolate giant chewy cookies too, and a couple of bottles of coke, some of a rather nice elderflower and pear fizzy spring water to wash everything down. Got some of an unknown Agaricus spp. mushroom too that needs IDing to see if I can eat them, as well as some Russulas, and boletes, a Suillus species, plus the one lonesome slippery jack, those are one of my favourites out of all the boletes, right up there with the cep, the larch bolete, and B.appendiculatus, B.aereus.
Picked myself a real feast yesterday; when I get hungry again after having my fish and chips, methinks I'll have to whip up a quick batch of salted pasta with a dash of olive oil and some tabasco and soy sauce, to serve up a plateful of my lucky find of saffron milk caps (the Lactarius spp). Lol my hands, and even feet from where droplets of the milky secretions that come out of injured, cut mushroom tissue hit the floor, and with it, my toes, which along with my fingers and hands, are now bright nuclear orange in colour.
