The cooling weather and the rain have made our fungal friends appear everywhere. It also helps that this is mushroom season and there are wild Florida mushrooms ripe for the foraging. Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World Those are really hard to miss and with a few precautions (cut every one in half to make sure they aren’t baby Amanitas or something horrid – also make sure they’re white inside) they’re a safe, if sometimes rather bland, wild edible. The first mushrooms I ever picked and ate from the wild were puffballs. I’m cautiously learning my edible and poisonous mushrooms at the moment. Not everyone has my iron constitution or taxonomic giftings. And don’t follow my example, then get sick, then sue me. They are also sold in Yunnan, China.NOTE: Don’t eat any wild mushroom unless you know for sure what you have. In Guatamela, they are sold at the markets from May to October. They will be sold from June through to November where they are considered as a ‘second class’ mushroom species for consumption. In Mexico, locals and tourists alike can see and buy these wild mushrooms for sale at the Farmers Markets. Some Lactarius indigo specimens do produce milk which can be used to add some colour to marinades. As the flesh can have a granular texture, it should not be dried. When the mushroom is cooked, the blue/indigo colour will disappear and will look greyish. Those who do wish to eat the Lactarius indigo will prepare the mushroom by cutting it into thin slices. However, some will say that it is rather mediocre in quality with a peppery taste and a coarse or grainy texture. For example, David Arora who is an American mycologist considers the Lactarius indigo as being a superior edible mushroom. However, many people either love it or hate it. This is a well known edible species due to its unique colouration. When it is young, the cap will be slimy or sticky but this will soon dry out. The stem’s interior is solid and firm when it is young, but will hollow as it ages. It is also silvery or greyish blue to indigo. The stem is between 2 to 6 cm tall and 1 to 2.5 cm thick. They are also indigo blue but will become paler with age or stain with green if it is damaged. ![]() The gills of mushrooms are crowded closely together. The mushroom flesh is brittle, and the stem can snap open cleanly if it is bent hard enough. ![]() It will slowly turn green after being exposed to the air. When the cap surface is fresh it is indigo blue, but will fade to a silvery or greyish blue that may have green splotches on it. The margin of the cap is also rolled inwards when young, but as it ages, this unravels. As it ages even more, it becomes deeply depressed so it looks a bit like a funnel. Initially, the cap is convex and then develops a central depression. The mushroom cap is between 5 to 15 cm in diameter. Similarly to other mushrooms, the Lactarius indigo develops from a nodule underground.
