Shaggy Ink Cap with spaghetti, ham & sage

[jonbem]

Shaggy ink cap in natural surroundings and some picked. The longest picked one shown was over 20cm and once the seven of them were trimmed they came to over 300g (12oz). I fried them up in a hot pan with butter, olive oil, garlic, ham and some finely chopped fresh sage leaves, then tossed into some nice al dente spaghetti - delicious!

Sounds delicious.........I am jealous my ink cap patch only produced one small fruit body this year

Do you remember what species of fungi are shown in the out of focus shot, some seem suspiciously like Brown Roll Rim to me.

Top right seem to be.

Why are you mixing edibles and dodgies?

[jonbem]

probably because I'm not clued up enough but lucky enough to get away with it. Anyway here's another picture with a variety

Well if you carry on with an attitude like that, you probably wont be so lucky next time. See you in the dialysis ward.

I'll be more careful next time, didn't mean to sound "cocky". But they hadn't been all chucked together in the basket, the ink caps had been kept seperate as I knew what they were, they were the last ones I picked as I knew the location and just been placed closely when laid out on the table for a couple of pics.

No worries Just be safe, it's a dangerous business as I'm sure you know.
