Mushroom hunters spoilt for choice
King bolete, chicken of the woods, pine mushrooms, chanterelles, morels, oyster mushrooms, puffballs and polypores, are all examples of edible mushrooms to be found growing wild in Catalonia in the autumn. In fact, adherents of the very popular activity of mushroom hunting have no shortage of edible mushrooms to fill their baskets, which also include waxy caps, yellow-footed chanterelles, bloody milk caps, saffron milk caps, grey knights, panther caps and black trumpets. Yet, a word of warning that must not be ignored: not all wild mushrooms are edible, and only those mushrooms that can be identified without any shadow of a doubt should be picked.
