Last Sunday I went foraging for mushrooms in the beautiful forest of Schorfheide. Autumn is perfect for foraging mushrooms due to the temperature and humidity. I brought back some Porcini mushrooms (Steinpilze) but also found some Maronen-Röhrlinge (Bay Boletes), Schirmpilze (Parasol Mushrooms) and Birkenpilze (Birch Boletes).
We went back home at the end of the afternoon. I cleaned the mushrooms with a dry brush, then decided on what to cook. I cut the Porcini into thick slices, marinated them with a miso-sesame oil-rice vinegar sauce, fried them and added the slices to a bowl of Ramen 🍜
Can’t wait to cook more delicious meals with these forest treasures! I was also gifted a giant squash that I’ll use one of these days. I’ll share what I made of it in my stories.
A short warning here. We collected a lot of different mushrooms. The cousin of my friend has a good knowledge of mushrooms. If you are considering of going then please make sure to inform yourself upfront or book a tour. If you’re not sure what mushroom it is, don’t take it! Or consider to consult a mushroom specialist. In Germany there are many “Pilzberatungsstellen” which you could contact for information. Foraging is at your own risk. We spotted several Fliegenpilz (Fly Agaric), which look beautiful but are very poisonous ☠️ Do not eat or touch those! 🙅🏼♀️🍄
I end this post with a big thank you to my dearest friends who brought me there ✨🥰
Looking forward to bring you to the next culinary adventure!
