I’ve found 3 Berkeley’s Polypore mushrooms this year. The last one I found I cooked & canned it into a saltwater brine w/ thyme. I thought it was very good, but the wife didn’t like it.

I think I’ll do another salt brine, maybe I’ll add elm leaves to this batch

I do a lot of research before eating a wild mushroom for the first time, usually 2-3 hours. When I’m confident, I only eat a small amount & wait at least a day to be sure I don’t have a weird allergy

I’ve also taken a class in my local area on easy edible mushrooms, but more importantly, the poisonous ones. There are only a few that will kill you (in my area) and I know them all by heart. Quite a few can make you sick, those are more numerous than deadly mushrooms
