I'd never seen anything like them, and went back the next day to take pictures so I could identify them.<br /><br />What's funny is that I went to Kepler's yesterday, saw a mushroom book, and identified them as shaggy inkcaps, coprinus comatus. This morning, I opened your blog, and there they were! I think the ones that I saw were a little younger--the bottoms were almost closed, so they looked like white pinecones.<br /><br />Verification word is yappr, in honor of the dog that lives behind us.chrissouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398602853402174732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-24626730122445119442011-12-09T16:48:59.476+01:002011-12-09T16:48:59.476+01:00They look like little huts.

In the UK these are known as Shaggy Inkcaps. <br />The Gillard 'Le Champion' Mushroom company in Loches used to grow them commercially. We blogged about it <a href="http://flint-tools-in-touraine.blogspot.com/2010/11/more-about-jim-champignion-champion.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a><br />I use them to make a vegetarian Chicken Rissotto... there is often a slight touch of pink at the bottom... before it starts to turn black... that gives a touch of colour to the "chicken" strips.<br />If you want a more chickeny flavour use a chicken stock cube instead of a vegetable one.<br />I am trying to introduce them to our verger. <br />If you find some that are smooth coated [and often slightly slimy] avoid at all costs.... unless you are teetotal... these cause a severe reaction with alcohol as they contain chemicals similar to Antabuse [which is given to alcoholics to help 'cure' them.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-50079992848980022282011-12-09T10:19:59.936+01:002011-12-09T10:19:59.936+01:00Totally agree!
