I pick a lot of mushrooms up here in the cold north and thought I would share the good ones so you can learn and pick them and die.
Boletus edulis. King of mushrooms. Does not need boiling, fry it like a steak. Tastes like the best meaty mushroom in the world. Hard to find fresh ones, 90% are too old or eaten by bugs.
Gomphidius glutinosus, grows by porcinis, cook it like porcinis, tastes like lemons and soy sauce.
Lactarius deterrimus. Hard to find in good condition. Easy to identify. Delicious nutty flavor.
Chanterelles. Mushrooms for babies but they're good.
Ramaria something, it's one of the good ones. It didn't kill me.
Hydnum repandum. Smells like oranges. Tastes like pork. Plentiful and easy to ID. Best fricking mushroom ever. Needs thorough cooking though.
Cortinarius caperatus. Hard to ID. Amazing fragrance and taste. Deadly doppelgangers. Only for experts like me.
Suillus bovinus. Literally "chewy cow mushroom" in my language. Delicious, good texture, plentiful.
Chanterelle ice cream! Recommended.
Amanita virosa. Delicious white mushroom, tasted mild and nutty. Trashed my liver and kidneys and killed me. Do not eat!!!!
If you need mushroom IDs in Europe, or mushroom recipes in general let me know!!!
I don't know how to make them embed....thank you for clicking.....sorry......

My favorite eating mushroom is probably Hen of the Woods. I think the name is cute
