Last Autumn we decided to go on a mission to collect some wild edible mushrooms.
We had our sights set on pine mushrooms (milk caps), as well as slippery jacks; both are easy to identify, and (we hoped) easy to find.
We got up early, hopped into our trusty yellow van, & set out to a few areas known for being fungi friendly, namely Hastings/Merrick/Bittern, all in Victoria, Australia.
It turned out to be a very successful day, we returned home with a huge box full, & ate some for dinner.
Pulled off to the side after spotting some fungi...
A good patch of pine mushrooms.

We also saw plenty of other wild fungi...
Including lots & lots of fly agaric.
This is the box after only a few stops, by the end it was loaded!
Back at home we made a mushroom stew with mashed potatoes. Yum!
