Yesterday I had a real treat. A guy gave me some mushrooms he had gathered locally. "Chicken mushrooms". also known as "hen of the woods", we steamed them up with a little chopped onion. Tasted just like a bland piece of chicken. Then tried some with a little bbq sauce. Excellent! 3rd version was with a little curry powder. For some reason this reminded me of steamed shrimp.
He soaks in water for 24 hours to loosen any dirt and drive out any bugs hiding in them and then washes them well. Freeze individually, vacpak and store in the freezer.
Anyone on the team have a working knowledge of gathering wild mushrooms?
Would make an excellent thread to start as the gathering part of survival will be just as important a skill to have as the hunting part.
