I found some chicken mushrooms and maitakes in Central Park last year. The maitakes were a bit old and I was with my niece and nephew, so I didn't grab the chickens. They're out there, though.

Aside from the maitakes, the mushrooms described in that article sound less than appetizing, I have to say.

The first morels I ever found were growing in the corner funk next to a basement washing machine in a college rental house in Palo Alto. Um, didn't eat them though.

I have never been able to think of eating mushrooms from Central Park.

 

[scottreiner]

probably the safe bet...

Although I have read that Japanese chefs do collect gingko nuts there.

I used to skirt older Chinese immigrants collecting the gingko nuts in Sakura Park (Claremont Ave @ 122nd St) during the late Fall. Better them than I, I'd think as I walked past...

Why not? They using lots of fertilizers in there?

Btw, the pics I took last year in the park.

Are mushrooms and apples the new cigars?

No, salt-packed anchovies are.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I worry more about the rat poison.

I can't think of a single case in which that is true.
