1 Common Edible Mushrooms of Missouri Presented by Maxine Stone Missouri Mycological Society Missouri Mycological Society Mushroom Classes These classes are designed to educate scientific minded, or just the curious, to 40 different mushroom species through four consecutive courses. Course One: Ten Common Poisonous Mushrooms of Missouri Course Two: Ten Common Mushrooms of Missouri Part I Course Three: Ten Common Mushrooms of Missouri Part II Course Four: Ten Common Edible Mushrooms of Missouri Each class provides training and offers optional field work. Optional field work includes collection and recording of three discussed species, and a one page essay on anything pertaining to the respective class. A test will be given. After successful completion of training, field experience, homework and test for each class, the student will receive a beautiful award pin acknowledging proficiency in that area of mycology. Those who completes all four courses will be awarded the Missouri Mycological Society s Harry S.Thiers Certificate for Mushroom Proficiency Today you will learn.. Today you will learn to identify 10 of the most common edible mushrooms in Missouri You will learn common names, Latin names and certain identifying features You will learn to recognize poisonous look-alikes You will also learn where you might find these choice mushrooms 1

2 The names of these mushrooms are: Morchella esculenta Yellow Morel Cantharellus cibarius & lateritius Chanterelle Laetiporus sulphureus & cincinatus Chicken Mushroom Grifola frondosa Hen of the Woods Calvatia gigantea Giant Puffball Coprinus comatus Shaggy Mane Pleurotus ostreatus Oyster Craterellus cornucopioides/fallax Black Trumpet Lepista nuda Wood Blewit Herecium erinaceus Bearded Tooth There are thousands of regularly harvested edible mushrooms in the world. 2

3 Out of 10,000 mushroom species in North America, less than a dozen are actually deadly. In some areas, certain poisonous and even deadly mushrooms are quite common. Right here in Missouri, there are a couple of deadly common mushrooms. It's also true that several common edibles have other poisonous look-alikes that people often mistake for them. 3

4 Before you eat or taste any mushroom, please have it positively identified and be 100% sure of what it is. But.. we are here to talk about EDIBLE mushrooms. Though I ll show you some common poisonous look-alikes -- we ll leave poisonous mushrooms for another class! Anyone know this mushroom??? 4

5 Or this? These are both morels Yellow morel Morchella esculenta Black morel Morchella elata 5

6 Morels have a honeycomed cap with ridges and pits: Morels are hollow inside: When do we find morels? In the spring usually the beginning of April through the end of April or the beginning of May When the ground has warmed up When there has been sufficient rain 6

7 Where do we find morels? In the woods In back yards In disturbed areas We CAN find them in a lot of places 7

8 But if you want to HUNT for morels, try these places. Under dying elm trees Under white ash trees Under cottonwood trees Dying Elms (not dead, not healthy): Dying Elms are funnel shaped The bark can be falling off The bark is gray White Ash: This is a tall tree It has brown bark The bark is furrowed into diamond patterns and looks like straight lines all the way up. 8

9 Cottonwoods: The bark is ash-gray It is divided in thick flattened ridges with deep furrows. Cottonwoods are very large trees and like river bottoms Does anyone know this mushroom? Considered a look-alike (even though it doesn t look like a morel) Gyromitra caroliniana or Big Red False Morel 9

10 Despite the fact that the False Morel is consumed by many people in Missouri, this mushroom is not a safe edible! It has a toxin (rocket fuel is made from it) in it that builds up in the body Deaths have occured Which one is ridged and pitted? The Big Red is more brain-like Which one is hollow? 10

11 Morels and Pasta 11

12 This is a Chanterelle! Cantharellus cibarius There are a few different species of chanterelles Cantharellus lateritious Smooth Chanterelle Cantharellus cibarius Chanterelle They are yellow-ochre to orange: 12

14 When do we find chanterelles? In the middle of the summer when it is hot, humid and ticks abound! July is chanterelle time, occasionally the end of June and into August Where do we find chanterelles? Chanterelles like our native oak hickory forests. They are there and are easy to find because of their color Once you find one look around, there will be more Poisonous look-alike Omphalotus illudens or Jack O Lantern 14

15 The Jack O Lantern is considered poisonous. It can cause gastric upset for 2 hours 2 days Note: when gathered fresh and taken into a dark room, the gills give off an eerie green glow The Jack O Lantern has sharp gills The Chanterelle has ridges (or is smooth) 15

26 Puffballs are usually all white and smooth but they can be tan and spiney Puffballs are round or oval (sometimes looking like a baseball or volleyball!) 26

27 They can be small or large very large An edible Puffball should be completely white when cut through and look like marshmallow It should have no sign of a stem or cap 27

28 When do we find Puffballs? July October Where do we find Puffballs? Open woods, grass, pastures, backyards Scattered or clustered Poisonous look-alike: Pigskin Puffball or Scleroderma citrinum 28

36 Oysters Rockefeller 36

37 This is a Black Trumpet or Craterellus fallax Black Trumpets are brownish black Black Trumpets are vase shaped 37

38 Black Trumpets are very small When do we find Black Trumpets? Around June Sometimes earlier, sometimes later Where do we find Black Trumpets? Black Trumpets like rocky, mossy hillsides They like our Oak-Hickory forests They are very hard to see as they blend in with the forest floor 38

39 This is a Wood Blewit or Lepista nuda 39

40 Blewits have a violet cap, often fading to tan Blewits gills are violet to buff Blewits stalk is violet and often bulbous 40

41 This is a Bearded Tooth or Hericium erinaceus 41

43 Two Bonus Mushrooms.. 43

44 This is a Lobster Mushroom or Hypomyces lactiflourum The Lobster mushroom has a bright orange-red mold or parasite growing on various white species of Lactarius and Russula mushrooms The orange parasite grows on the host and smooths the gills 44

45 It transforms an otherwise unpalatable mushroom (Lactarius or Russula) into an choice edible Mmmmmmm.. 45

46 This is a Milky Lactarius Lactarius volemus The cap of the Milky is dry, velvety and orange-brown 46

47 The latex that exudes from this mushroom is white, abundant, and turns brownish The odor is fish-like Now that I have my edibles, how do I preserve them?? Dehydrate? Cook and freeze? 47

48 The Mycophagist's Ten Commandments Excerpted from Edible Wild Mushrooms of North America 1. Never eat a mushroom unless it is 100%, positively identified as edible. 2. Eat only fresh mushrooms that are free from infestation of insects. 3. Thoroughly cook all wild mushrooms. 4. Eat wild mushrooms in moderate quantities. 5. When trying a mushroom for the first time, eat only a small portion. 6. Never assume that a wild mushroom you find overseas is the same edible species you know from North America or vice versa. 8. Be conservative about feeding wild mushrooms to children, the elderly, and the infirm. 9. When trying a mushroom for the first time, save a few intact, uncooked specimens in the refrigerator. 10. Examine every specimen in every collection of mushrooms to avoid inadvertent mixing of different species. Remember, every mushroom is edible- ONCE! Always check with an expert until you are 100% sure 48
