Frozen Puffballs

I made this Mushroom stroganoff again using mushrooms I foraged last summer and then froze.

So the experiment is complete - freezing mushrooms works!

The puffballs were delicious in the stroganoff.

Next summer......watch out mushrooms!

Foraging Mushrooms

I went with my mom today to hunt for mushrooms.

It was fun!

I love a treasure hunt.

This is the first one we found.

We took one and left a baby one.

I plan on checking back tomorrow and harvesting the baby.

P.S. I spotted this one first.

It's big!

Some more mushrooms.
We are waiting to test these,
if/when we find our mushroom field guide.

This puffball my mom spotted.

I walked right by it!

Neat, huh?

Natural arch.

Anyone know what these are?

We didn't pick them.

Tiny!

Cooking the puffballs in butter.

Yummy!
