The mushroom mixed in with pasta, and other Alaskan edible greens called Chickweed. |
I'm riding my Yamaha FJR1300 to Alaska from Washington, DC. The main reason for the trip is to reconnect with a Sportsmobile that I left there the summer of 2010. I lived in it that summer while I was taking pictures of ice climbers on the Matanuska glacier, but left it there and flew home. So this is a recovery mission, but actually the plan is to sell it there, then ride the motorcycle back by the end of August. Enter your email below to subscribe:

Sure it's Edible!
So I'm hanging out at Don's place with Bill, Claire, and Meagan (MICA Guides), and we find this giant mushroom growing next to my van. Bill's eye's grow wide and he says excitedly, "This is an aphrodiclosophus genus mushroom and is delicious!" or something to that effect. Then Claire says, "Yes, since it's aprocodifolated instead of neocortexacerbated we can eat it!" or something like that. Mushroom freaks. Anyway, we picked that bad boy, sliced it up and ate it for dinner, and I'm still alive.

Will the senseless killing of mushrooms ever stop! Since you've started down this evil road of patch collecting and death dispatching, if you kill a squirrel with your bare hands you get the Alaska Forest Hunter Gatherer Level 1 patch.
ReplyDeleteI'm sensing a quickening of the slide down PA (Peak Andy). Was this really Zombie Mushroom Pasta Goulash? We'll known in a couple of weeks. . .
LOL. I want that patch! Btw, have YOU been eating mushrooms? Hmm?

DeleteEdible wild mushrooms are the best! Went Morel Mushroom picking in Montana last Spring and hit the mother lode. Sauteed in a little butter with fresh garlic they were deeeelicious!
