hi there
rose hip ace but sieve and sieve again through muslin to remove the irritant hairs
pressure cooker is ideal type of cooking for rhs
re shrooms get a couple of good field guides and start practicing id before thinking of gathering ,phillips/jordan are v useful but the river cottage shroom book is a good investment as well.
the best way with shrooms is personal tuition over many seasons but starting by book/look learning the terms for structures,family characteristics,variations due to location weather and age within a species is possible and essential to survival if foraging .
it is safer to start with the absolutely recognisable such as chicken of the woods and families where the toxic are easy to id such as the boletes.
after 30 odd years i still wont eat some i "know"to be safe as they are quite easy to mistake for rather horrid ones without spore prints /microscope id of spores etc and i dont need that sort of tension in a nice sauce.
