Thursday haul and have you tried...?A spectacular woodland haul yesterday,
A macrosporus
A augustus,
Armillaria tabescens
lactarius deliciosa
and another 1st find: the milk white russula (can't recall the latin )with a pale blue tint at the top of the stem.
oh and parasols galore (But most quite spongy)
Has anyone tried the milk white russula or the Armillaria tabescens? here are the pix
did a couple of the macrosporus in a sausage and tomato stew yesterday along with a bit of secong flush gound elder. Delicious!
tonight it's the russula and armillaria turn for the pot; any suggestions for best cooking? blanche first do you think?

Armillaria tabescens is lovely, but some people find it (and its cousin the honey fungus) a little bitter. I would say give some a good, long fry off in butter or oil and taste it, see what you think, and if its good then use it in any kind of meat dish; it is quite excellent with pork I think. Fry off with the meat and stew.
I don't think I've picked the milk white russula.
