PAGE 4, KINGS MOUNTAIN MIRROR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1972 Women’s EdUor..^via Holmes The cool, moist nights of fall combined with hot, sunny days achieve the ideal climate for the spawning of wild mushrooms. As a child, we spent many hours combing fields and meadows in search of delectable mushrooms to be taken home and fried together with bacon for breakfast the following morning. On lucky days our baskets would be full. Other days would yield just one or two edible fungi. Upon coming to the U.S.A. I was disappointed to find that fresh mushrooms were unavailable in Kings Mountain but I would occasionally manage to buy some in Charlotte. Recently, how ever, the grocery stores have had a supply of fresh mushrooms some weeks and our family definitely prefers the fresh variety to the canned kind. Canned mushrooms have the consistency of soft rubber and lack the delectable taste of cultivated mush rooms. Price wise, canned mushrooms are cheaper to use in casserole dishes than the fresh kind. Flavor wise the best species are wild meadow mushrooms which are usually picked free and have a flavor that even surpasses that of the cultiva ted species. I was delighted this fall to find that many edible mushrooms have been growing locally and a few weeks ago I was able to pick several grocery bags full. After eating our fill of mush rooms there were still great quanilties left and I was able to cook and freeze many pints of creamed mushrooms. There is always a danger of accidently picking a poisonous variety of wild fungi and that is whv I have delayed writing this column for several weeks until hie mushroom growing season was over. I would not like to be responsible for any Illness suffered by a wild mushroom picker who had gone out into the fields with no experience of recognizing which types of fungi are edible. Textbooks tell us that many types are edible but I will only eat one kind. Some poisonous types only affect certain people, some cause discomfort and some are deadly. One year we were lucky to harvest several crops of fresh mushrooms right in our own yard. This year we had to walk further afield but there is nothing better than rising early and tramping through the damp grass on a cool, misty morning in search of white caps with pale pink frills underneath that will turn brown, then black unless picked early in the day. You will find them singly or in groups and many times they will be grow ing in a "fairy ring.” But readers beware and do not pick or eat them unless you really know what you are doing.
