Thread Name: BS: Favourite mushroom?
Subject: RE: BS: Favourite mushroom?
Some useful links :-
Roger Phillips - photographer. His photographic books are excellent. One for mushrooms and another named Wild Food covers edible plants. Web site contains recipes.
Antonio- Carluccio - Chef. Author of A Passion for Mushrooms. Another book worth having in your living room.
Tom Volk's Fungi. An interesting site about fungi.

As for my faves, field mushrooms, Parasol - batter with thyme in it and deep fried, Slippery Jack - in stews, Velvet Shank - nice with pasta, Cep, Orange Birch Boletus - easily found and prolific - stews/soups, Blewitts - MUST be cooked - as a sauce stewed with chicken.
I currently have field blewitts growing in my back garden. Unfortunately too close to where the dog has been.

Quack!
