300 (or so) Fungi Eaten By Storm--Part 2
(for better or for worse)
I have eaten all the mushrooms listed below. I have eaten all of them cooked. Where noted, I have also eaten them raw. To give you the mainstream view regarding the edibility of these species, Ive included Edibility information (right after the Common Names) that Ive gleaned from the major field guides and websites pertaining to this discipline. If a Y (Yes) follows the Common Name, then the species is generally considered edible by mycologists. An N (No) indicates the contrary, while a P (or P?) denotes at least the possibility of gastric upset (or even death, depending on the species and your personal chemical makeup). Be aware that, similar to allergic reactions amongst us to peanuts, seafood and wheat, the same hold true for the Fungi Kingdom. Raw Oyster Mushrooms make me vomit, and Honey Mushrooms usually do not agree with my stomach. But others can eat them with impunity. Indeed, some people suffer after consuming seemingly innocuous Chanterelles! A Question Mark illustrates our ignorance regarding the edibility status of that species.
In order for a fungus to make the following list, I had to eat at least one whole, cooked mushroom (or chopped it up in a tea, in the case of the woody polypores) on three occasions. Any ill effects suffered on my part are noted.
