The mushroom season is at the end of the third quarter in the Nordic season,

Many different types of mushrooms have sprung up and bloomed in their turn, they come, and they go, followed by another species or another variety of mushroom.

One type of mushroom that i picked up recently is the Lactarius deliciosus, it is an excellent mushroom for cooking, it has a three-star rating.

It has a distinct bright orange color that resembles the color of a carrot, the bright dye of the mushroom is also used as a coloring dye.

Lactarius deliciosus mushroom is not the only orange color mushroom that grows during the autumn season, there is also the Lactarius deterrimus, it is also suitable for cooking, and it has a two-star rating as an edible mushroom.

There are many different types of mushrooms in the Nordic forest, some grow in pine tree forest, and others in the Birch tree forest, they are very particular about the soil that they grow in, other types of trees and forests that mushrooms grow in and favor are the alder and aspen trees.

Preparation of the Lactarius groups of mushroom varies into two broad groups: 1). Wash rinse, slice into strips and fry in a hot pan with butter or oil, very quick and convenient, these types of mushrooms are mostly very mild and of high quality.  2). The other type of preparation is more involved, wash, rinse, cut mushrooms into wedges, and place them into boiling water. Simmer 10 minutes, drain, rinse until cool. These types of mushrooms usually are stronger flavor and slightly bitter/toxic. The boiling process for 10 minutes is necessary for human consumption.

Lactarius deliciosus mushroom is great because it is quick to prepare, rinse in clean running water and sliced into strips and fried in a hot fry pan with butter or oil, great tasting mushroom and suitable with potatoes for breakfast or another mealtime.
