Question: I picked some really nice mushrooms from my backyard, any good recipes out there!?
Answers:
Backyard mushrooms
1 whole week old rotting chicken (left in the sun if possible)
3 spoiled onions (mouldy is best)
salt
pepper

Stuff the rotting chicken with the mushrooms and onions, salt and pepper liberally, cook for only one hour at 300 degrees (you want it nice and undercooked)!. Enjoy - it won't make you any sicker than eating the mushrooms alone! Unless you are trained to know what mushrooms are edible and which ones aren't, don't eat them!. Some a highly toxic and can make you very sick (or could kill small children and the elderly)!.
Please buy some fom the store and sautee them in in real butter, chives, roasted garlic, salt and pepper - now that's yummy!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Saw this recipe today, and it looked so delicious!.!.!.

If you know the mushrooms are safe and that is a BIG if!. They can be used in any recipe calling for mushrooms!.
I get a lot of wild mushrooms and since there is more than I can use at once I dry the denser ones and the more delicate ones I saute and freeze for later use!.
The ones that I pick are the Hen of the Wood mushroom and Shaggy Parasol!. The Hen of the Woods is a heavy dense one that dries very nicely the Shaggy one I saute and freeze!.
I make pasta sauce, soup, I add them to chili, meatloaf, hamburgers!. Mushrooms can be added to almost anything!.
But if you are not sure that these are safe do not take the chance until you have checked them out!. Many Universities have co-operative extension programs and Master Gardener's are available to answer some questions!. Or try your city/town's conservatory for information!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
