I’m impressed that you know the edible ones from the not-so-edible ones…. yum!
Oh, I don’t know very many. We have about five or six we like to pick (and we know them well enough to be sure of them) — chanterelles, pines, oyster mushrooms, the big almond-scented Princes, boletes, and a few others. These, for instance, which are pretty easy to remember. And they taste so delicious. I love Jane Grigson’s Bresse mushroom soup which freezes well (after you’ve pureed and before you add the cream) and it’s like having gold in the freezer! (Albeit mushroom-coloured gold.)
