Tag Archives: gift from the forest

Linda Bostwick went mushroom foraging with me a few weeks ago and we found several very large Sweet Tooth Hedgehogs Mushrooms. They are deliciously edible.

When Linda got it home, she measured and weighed it. It weighed in at one pound two ounces, and measured seven and a half inches across the top. These are considered beginner mushrooms as they have no dangerous lookalike. Instead of gills, they have many slender spikes. Dry sauté to release the moisture, then sauté with some butter, salt and pepper. Absolutely delicious with scrambled eggs! A gift from the forest.

I took the photo.

As I type this late Friday afternoon, it's the calm before the storms. Yes, storms, a series of them. Batten down the hatches!
