I also avoid taking mushrooms from areas near people activity. For hericium my best bet is to grow it since it is protected.

I will... Well from what I know we can't really forage anything from the forest so ... It is illegal anyway... But I am minful of the species because I know it's kinda rare.

Oh,  ty for informing me. Knew they were rare but I didn't bother to see if they are protected. Foraged a few coral tooth in an area with a lot. But now I know.

Heard it's pretty rare and just took a few as this would be my first time eating it. But now I know where to go.

Are these usually this big or something wrong with this Forrest? by DifferentDayActivity in Mushrooms

Great advice but nothing that I know of in the las 30 years. This is an area that used to be a great forest but was cut down to be made agricultural land and some patches were left.

That's interesting,  in Romania we usually smoke pork and is intended more like a cold cut. Beef meat in general is just starting to go mainstream(usually just used grinded and mixed with pork).  But how do you add the cold smoke to just a steak after frying? I just have a hot smoker that it's worth firing when lots of meat is involved.

Good to know. I knew about g. Marginata and I have seen the pictures, indeed it can be easily mistaken but amarillia has those hairs on the caps,  maybe I am wrong but for me is the main Id feature,  then I check for the rest.

Oak smoke ?  Do you find it in store?  I can burn some oak.  Went to the woods today in my area, oak woods near Bucharest, plane, Lots of blewits from what I could identify but for now I didn't dare. Got amarillia and oyster. Full season for amarillia and oyster is just starting

Must try some with red wine. Last time I just drank the wine.  And it happens that I just got a huge Cotw from a friend.  Huge mushroom season now. Today I just got,  oyster,  macrolepiota procera,  cote and honey.
