MUSHROOMS
The bland button mushrooms we are sold in the supermarket are a mass-produced tasteless excuse for fungi in their wild state. Sadly in New Zealand we are becoming a people accustomed to standardized, shrink-wrapped foods - totally devoid of nutrition.
Wild mushrooms can be found in parks & gardens, as well as fields & the bush. Care needs to be exercised, as some varieties are deadly - however with the help of a good identification guide wild edibles can be collected & safely consumed: good hunting!
