I was sad to see he didn’t get pompoms and got to wear pants.

Excellent point. Needs more of this:

He needs to be in a tank top and something like bike shorts and show as much skin as the women. Or put the women in black pants and white T-shirts. Nice to have a guy but nice is not enough. The women are much more sexualized than he is.

I find the footwear choices in that Anker picture deeply troubling.

No show socks with sandals kinda defeats the point . . .

Are we not going to talk about the footwear featured in the advertisement picture?

Bleach and ammonia is where it's at, those are the two to mix if you want to have a real party!

I’m totally fine with the way this played out. The last thing we nature nerds want is a bunch of insta hags out decimating our wild bounty. The fewer people out there picking mushrooms, the safer the mushrooms are.

Despite wanting to tell everyone that hunting mushrooms is VERY DANGEROUS (so there will be more for me), it’s a fun hobby to learn. BUT you need someone to show you the actual mushrooms the first few times, and you should invest in a real guide, with scientific keys like David Arora’s “Mushrooms Demystified.” And if…

Argh! I just pulled this book of the shelf last night to return to the publisher :/

I can’t access her blog (since my browser is set to not accept being code-sodomized) but I would not be surprised if she is on some hipsterturdrawfood trip and thinks one would destroy precious spectralchakrajizz if one cooks them... 

That reminds me of an incident in north Alabama about 30 years ago. A rancher’s vacant field was overrun by strangers who were picking and eating wild mushrooms growing there. Whether they grew on their own or were planted there was never determined, but the sheriff and game wardens were constantly arresting dozens of…

“I can say that the way this unfolded, has hurt more than I can articulate.”

Foraging can be dangerous when done by novices. So, yes. I expect people to do their jobs even with a “celebrity” cookbook.

I mean, why wouldn’t you mix baking soda and vinegar? It makes for fun foam!

She’s an instagram forager. If that phrase alone doesn’t scare you far, far away, then I can’t help you.

Safe wild mushrooms can make people sick if they’re not properly cooked. The ones she had for her recipes needed to be cooked. I wonder who checks to make sure the recipes are safe. Especially for her cookbook since it involves people foraging for plants to eat. You want to make sure the information is accurate.

One of the FIRST things you learn foraging for wild mushrooms is NEVER eat raw. This woman was dangerously ill-informed or just never bothered to do actual research on the topic. It makes me so sad that more people will now be wary of fungus hunting, because of one idiot. A great book is “Mushrooming Without Fear” ,…
