HiYa,

The mushroom season is too much work unless your out of work.

Does anyone know a mail order vuraneke business? I'd love to eat some, but without mushrooms.

HiYa,

My Grandmother from Ukraine always wanted the mushrooms fresh but it was a lot of work. I helped so many times that whenever I had to peel shrimp I thought I was on Holiday..lol

Yes Cameo, mushrooming is work but what a great kind of job it is! Every found boletus hiding from me like an ostrich makes me exceptionally proud. Mushroom fragrance, delicate tissues, beautiful and so rich shapes are heavens' rewards!
And those delicious dishes you can prepare are a wonderful compensation for a long hunting time. I am a true lover of a forest, with a thousand species of plants and animals and with that wonderful ecological balance. Mushrooming offers you something you could never buy in a shop.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng live mushrooming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And those poor city dwellers sometimes reside in their boxes of beton and even do not realize how beautiful is the natural world. Oh, God me some strength to be able to approach the proper words describing a great JOB of Thee!

With reference to the on going discussion, CoCo peat and Neem coir are wonderful mushroom casing/ growing mediums.

Dear wild mushroom lovers,

I had a holiday in the country and there was a prolonged drought lasting almost a month. Then, violent rains came but it was too early to activate fungi bodies. I desperately looked for an opportunity of mushrooming in my neighbourhood.
There were no mushrooms in surrounding vast forest but... I found them in my yard unexpectedly. I think I had noticed pale brown little mushroms growing in grass before but I absolutely paid no attention to them. This time, however it was different, maybe because "na bezrybiu i rak ryba" as they say in my country. I picked a few and dried them up. Their smell was delicious!
It turned out later that mushroom sauce based on Marasmius Oreades was wonderful. That way I added one more valuable specie to my collection of known and valued mushrooms.
Marasmius is quite intriguing fungus and you can read more about it. They often grow in mysterious fairy rings.

Do you know them in Ukraine, too? What's their popular name? In Poland, they call them pzhydruzhka because they often grow by the road.
