Picking Mushrooms? Houby? Funghi?

[Pisis]

Hi,

we were discussing a lot of the weather temp on another MB, also humidity, so it makes me think about growing mushrooms. No drugs, normal "funghi" that are used for meals!

A lot of rain and sun eventually is needed for good conditions, when a mushroom is a type of a mold (Fungus) in fact.

We recognize three basic types - toxic, non-eatable and eatable. Did you ever hear about Hřib (Boletus), Babka (Old-woman), Liška (Fox), Kuřátka (Chicken), Holubinka (Pidgeon mushroom), Muchomůrka (Fly-killer), Klouzek (Putty boletus), Bedla Jedlá, Píchavka (Dusty-one), Hadovka Smrdutá (Snake-mushroom the Stinker), etc...?

I know that Champignons are used frequently in the West, also I'm familiar with using die Pfeferlinge (that's that Fox) in Germany... But everyone I was ever talking to about Mushrooms, excluding Poles, Czechs and Slovaks, are afraid.

I think that Fungi are ****ing freakin organisms and very, very interesting. For example look at this, that ****ing scares me...

The only mushrooms Ive ever eaten ON PURPOSE are the ones that grow on cow patties............. I cant stand normal mushrooms..

[Pisis]

hm, you mean growing on bullshit? the only meaning for word "patty" that i know is a sort of a pancake or so... so do you mean ****?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes i think he does, and down here they're also refered to as "country pancakes"................

I just call it ****.

[evangilder]

There are a number of slangs for cow manure; pasture patties, cow pies, cow patties, landmines, etc.

I'd never eat those store-bought mushrooms, they taste like crap when compared to wild ones.....

I can't believe nobody's made any insinuations about 'funny fungi' yet!

[mosquitoman]

Has anybody here eaten Quorn? (meat substitute stuff)
The closest relative to the fungus in Quorn is athlete's foot fungus.

Eat up

I nearly choked to my death on Quorn (no kidding) when I was about 8 and ive never touched it since.


Isn't mushroom in here is there?

[mosquitoman]

Oh Dear CC, that must be the worst joke EVER, bar this one:

Why is a mushroom cool at a party?
He's a fun guy

[cheddar cheese]

Or this one I just made up.

Why did the Fungi cross the road?
There isnt mushroom on this side.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

You make a bad joke when you simply enter a room
