In early August the grand
children and I were exploring some forest near our house in Gainesville,
Florida. During our walk we discovered giant mushrooms! After
checking with Dr. James Kimbrough, a retired University of Florida mycologist,
who declared them edible, we washed the mushrooms, cut them in pieces,
parboiled them, drained off the water, added butter and spices, and were
treated to a new food.

They had a firm texture and
a mild taste. Overall, they were really good! Also appearing now
are chanterelles, and our favorite - the orange capped Lacterius hygrophoroides.
If anyone knows the
name of this mushroom, please let me know by e-mailing me.
