Wild mushrooms Wild mushroomsIf you decide to give it a try -- despite the warning -- do not tear them from the ground, but cut the stem to preserve the mycelium for future growth.
How safe is it? Well, rumor has it that even one of our noted specialists, author of a popular "mushrooming manual" once had his stomach pumped !
Now, perhaps you want to find about a few good mushrooms we have chosen for your perusal; or, maybe you are more interested in the bad and the ugly. But do have a look at our list of recipes.
Warning:
some mushrooms are poisonous, even deadly.
This is a presentation of an interesting (we think so) aspect of
Slovene gastronomy -- not an invitation to find them and try them
yourself. Lists of edible and
poisonous mushrooms linked to
this page contain only a
small number out of over 400 types growing in Slovenia; descriptions are
abridged for the purpose of this presentation and do not offer sufficient
information for a safe mushroom hunt. This is not a vade mecum,
but just a piece of entertaining (we hope so) information.
