At least they are pretty quick to pull apart. My one doesn't even wait for the cassette to be removed. It just falls apart in front of eyes with the clutch pawl thingy and springs out in record time.
I think that's a saffron milk cap. Lactarius delicioses, name says it all.
I'm 100% percent serious on the taste and 99% on the ID. Have a google, if you're not interested in them please give me a where. They are very sought after and expensive to buy. Did you see any big slimy yellow/brown ones as well? they grow in the same spots. The Poms call the slimy ones slippery jacks or sticky buns.
Yeah spot on about the orange ones, Saffron Milk Caps. If they are growing in or near Pines you can be 99.99% sure they're the right ones, I grab a bunch for my folks when I see them out and about...pretty tasty fried up with a bit of olive oil and salt/garlic, don't freak out when your pee is dark orange afterwards.
Haha, nah I was pretty sure you were serious.
My block gets covered in those ones, want me to post you some?
Cheers, I found Sandy Valley DH on traiforks. I think you got the name of the road wrong which made it a bit harder to find.
Plenty of both saffrons and slippery jacks out this way (Ballarat). Creswick has pine plantations, some of which you are allowed to walk through. I usually stick the the La Gerche walk area and general surrounds.
It wouldn't surprise me if Mt Macedon was too picked over. A friend used to go there with her family (and many other European families), people would be picking bucket loads to take home to preserve.
That, and pretty much all the pines have been logged up there.
I've got a nice strawberry tree growing. Delicious fruit, straight off the tree. Just read the wiki pages, and saw the herbal remedy uses for bee health. Might have to take some cuttings, and grow them near my bee trees.
Yeah gOoGle calls it Yarram-Blackwarry Rd.
Not far from the old prison farm. Did a few 'run with the prisoners' back in the day. Are these tracks worth checking out? Done a bit of gravel riding around the Balook area and through to Yarram a few times (via Tarra Valley).
