      I’ve never been out picking before. Is there anyone out there who’d be willing to accompany me this season as a sort of guide because I’m shit scared I’ll pick the wrong ones and kill myself!

      (I live in Herts)

                                    Ive never seen magics in the woods but im not really looking for them,short well grazed land has proved plentyfull to me in the past and it makes them a bit easier to spot em too.

                                        When making a tea out of them, what do you do? Just pour hot water over them, let it brew, then drink? Leave the ‘shrooms in the cup while you drink it? Eat them as well afterwards?

                                                ive allways let it all brew in a pot for a while and then poured it and downed the whole cupfull shrooms an all ,but i know people who remove them cos they are not keen swallowing em its up to you,i think its in for a penny in for a pound the more inside you the more wasted you get.

                                                    The way i brew em is to put them in a pan (about 30 to 50 per person) add a cup full of water for every person then half a cup for steam, boil the hell out of them for about 5 minuits then let them simmer with the lid on for 10 to 15 more. then pour through a siv into the cups. works a treat.

                                                    As for finding them land that hasn’t been cultivated for a long time prefrebly(sp?) with cows on seems to be best.

                                                    Definatly get a good book or someone who knows what there picking though!
