I came across this post while searching some mycology forums and it reminded me of some stories that my parents used to tell me about when they were growing up in Manitoba.They used to eat (and can for later) (Pidpenky) mushrooms that sound a lot like the ones you are talking about but they also said that the ones they would eat were poisonous and that they would have to boil them three times before eating(if they wanted to avoid severe stomach cramps). Did you ever find out what the english or scientific name for the ones you were looking for? Does my description sound familliar?Would they be the same? THX Terry Sobkowich. I am looking for the english or latin name for the mushrooms that Ukrainians in Manitoba call Pidpenky - they are brown top cone when young and then seem to flatten out when larger. Small dark spots on cap, gilled, white stalk with a little collar around close to the cap and the stalk is solid when cross cut I have been told they are armillaria mellea but when I see pictures of those it does not look like the mushrooms we picked around Winnipeg Manitoba Can you help me? --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
