As many information on Google say this mushroom is edible, we cleaned them, cooked them as we do also with pine mushrooms and slippery jacks and finally eat some of them. Unfortunately we dont like the taste at all as it is similar to rotten wood... What as shame! So we put the complete dish with all the onions and baconpieces into the rubbish-bin.<br />Kind regardsGuenternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772303329517936921.post-71560466819693144132010-07-18T20:03:14.389+10:002010-07-18T20:03:14.389+10:00Hello Morrie,

Following the interview on Friday, I was asked to do an interview on Sunday ABC State-wide, and the producer has posted up a link to my blog, but my journal instead of my fungi blog. I don't mind, however, because I have a lot of useful life-stories told on my journal blog that I am receiving emails regarding them being helpful - so that's all good.<br /><br />http://huntervalleyjournal.blogspot.com/<br /><br />The interview didn't contain anything technical, just general information on fungi and how I got started.<br /><br />Thanks for your interest. I now have an opportunity to discuss taking part in workshops at the University of Newcastle, so besides spreading the good word about fungi, the exposure has been good for me.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772303329517936921.post-60015706454209770472010-07-16T20:45:49.898+10:002010-07-16T20:45:49.898+10:00Hi Gaye

But I'll try to make the most of the opportunity to spread the word about some little-known aspects of the beauty and importance of the natural world.<br /><br />GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772303329517936921.post-36701941757390929512010-07-15T10:12:52.676+10:002010-07-15T10:12:52.676+10:00So, a star is born!

I wish I could answer them.<br /><br />Having seen how Phlebopus marginatus becomes infested with maggots and consequently collapses, I can't imagine it being useful for tinder. Of course, experimentation will probably be the only way to determine this for sure. ie: collecting fresh specimens before insect infestation, drying and igniting. I like the idea of conducting this exercise.<br /><br />As far as medicine goes, again, I do not know, sorry.<br /><br />I haven't heard of it being eaten, but I will ask around on this. With so much flesh, if it was edible in the same manner as Suillus luteus, one fungus would provide several meals.<br /><br />With your experience with bush skills, are you aware of it's edibility and palatability?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772303329517936921.post-23204102539940878662010-07-13T16:15:49.174+10:002010-07-13T16:15:49.174+10:00Does this fungus have any use to man?
