So we are now on the Phoenix leg of this trip and spent the day with my mom today. The conversation turned to some of the Polish dishes we cooked when I was a kid and eventually got around to dried mushrooms that we would have sent from Poland.
It seems that the classic test of a mushroom was to put a silver dollar in the water when hydrating them, if the dollar turned black they were inedible. Well I checked the interweb and the articles I read said this was an old wifes table and NOT a valid test.
Considering the amount of shrooms I ate as a kid it is Damn amazing I lived to be an old man! ! !
