I don't consume any butter these days but yars ago I did like a sandwich with plenty of Kerrygold butter. That was a good product.
The offsprings have "olive spread" which has a tiny amount of olive oil an some other planet destroying veg oils.
I think I put someone off the Quorn in the shop yesterday when explaining to one of the children that it is made of fungus mould.

I only use olive oil and won eat any of these processed spreadable trans fats, they donβt seem like a good idea to me. If I was going to have anything like that, Iβd have real butter.

I was vegetarian for many years and tried Quorn for a while but my stomach didn't agree with it, it made me feel sick. Since then I try to avoid any food which is 'processed'.
Blackberries are free at the moment if you take them off the hedgerows yourself. It's surprising how much you can eat for free..doesn't always taste great though...

Blackberries have been pretty good this year. Mrs Greenman is also having a bash at making rosehip syrup as they seem to be in abundance round here.

Named after a village in Leicestershire that it has no connection with too.

There aren't actually many deadly species, but unfortunately the ones that are can be mistaken for edable ones (Death cap and Destroying angel spring to mind!). Parasol and shaggy inkcap mushrooms are supposed to be good to eat and fairly easy to identify. I did try giant puffball but it's pretty tasteless unless you cook it properly. If you watch YouTube, UK Wildcrafts is pretty good. As he suggests, make sure you know exactly what it is before eating it.

We used to have Cep, Puffballs, Parasol and some Psylocibin Semeantheata (sp) in our gardens on the estate yars ago. The forest path was good for shrooms. Most recent fungus I had was Chicken of the Woods which is very nice WHEN FRESH. I ate some after it had turned and it came out the same way it went in. Dogs vomit slime mould is a nice one to look at but I don't think its good to eat. We also used to get toads tools including Fly Agaric and some Stinkhorn (phallus impudicus). The latter is impressive to look at but not edible I don't think.

Parasol mushrooms are lovely. We used to fry them. Easy to identify and quite difficult to mistake anything dodgy for them. They often grow in fairy rings. I thought this was to do with long dead trees but it is more complicated apparently.

Parasols are good ..... proper ones that is not the shaggy varieties (they're ok but I don't think there as nice as the big ones) if you get the big ones before they are opened up pop them in batter and fry them (just dip and fry the head ignore the stalk and cut it off when cooked) The Italians call them ..... erm ...... I can't remember but it is the name for those drum sticks with the large round head they use on marching bass drums and you are totally safe picking them, there is no other mushroom a foot high and looking just like ..... errrm a parasol
eta beaten by A !!!
incidentally the parasol shown in the you tube clip is probably a shaggy parasol Lapiota Rhacodes the bigger type looks almost the same but bigger
(150mm to 300mm tall as oposed to the max 150mm tall of Rhacodes) and is Lapiota Procera
