Hedge Hog Mushrooms

Yesterday I picked 2 hedge hog mushrooms from the back yard and I had a strong desire to eat them just to do it. I washed them, and cut them lengthwise. I then added the mushrooms and margarine to a pan as well as onions and then saute'ed them.
In another pan I put 2 chicken boullion cubes (I had rather have beef boullion cubes)and added sliced bell peppers and carrots. I then combined the two and simmered over low heat for a little while until slightly soft. I then served these over white rice. It was excellent. I could not get my wife or little girl to eat it though.
Anyway it was fun to prepare a dish that came from my backyard (except the rice).

Hi Paul. I've never heard of hedgehog mushrooms, but the dish does sound good. You must be a good cook. I got a few shitakes from my logs and roasted them with potatoes, onions and cheese. We've had so much rain and there are wild mushrooms all over the place, but I don't know enough about them to know which to eat or not.

You can google hedge hog mushrooms and see what I am talking about. They are very distinctive in shape and no other mushroom looks like it. Under the mushroom there are hundreds of little "teeth" and they do not have gills. They tast really good. I have yet to shock my shitake logs and I have never eaten shitake but I will soon.
