  • Tim goes walking in the woods to look for some White Puffball Mushrooms to cook up for Nicki and warns of the dangers of other wild mushrooms. Make sure to know before you eat! He brings the puffball mushroom in the cabin to cook up with butter and onions for Nicki.

    My wife and I found some in the woods end of August. She cut some up into strips, seasoned it and fried it in butter. I came out like scrambled eggs and was delicious. If you have vegan friends, they'll really get a kick out of it. We were so stoked to find 10 pounds of free food just sitting by the trail.

    My favorite way to cook giant puffballs is to cut them in big slabs, about twice as thick as you've done, and then drege them in beaten eggs and flour, and then cook them slowly in butter in a cast iron skillet. A big puffball steak! Yours look pretty good, too! Giant puffballs are pretty unmistakable, especially at the giant sizes. But if the insides have started turning yellow, they are too old. Thanks for featuring a really special part of autumn!

    They're so pretty and white, I can't help but think of mozzarella cheese.

    Tim, this is probably this best video on YT on how to cook giant puffballs (exactly as my dear mom did). Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the delicious GIANT PUFFBALL!

    Thank you for this wonderful video. I recently found some puff balls and fried them in olive oil and butter. It was the best egg white substitute ever! My wife and son waited 24 hours to see if there where any side effects😅🤣🤣😅.

    Today is June 17th and I picked a giant puffball mushroom at a friend's house and will cook some of it up for breakfast tomorrow with garlic and eggs. Yum!

    Just found a bunch, picked them and sautéed until caramelized in butter, salt, pepper. Will probably add to primavera pasta sauce later

    You can also cut the giant puffballs into slices with the skin and freeze them. The taste and consistency with the skin are better preserved. greetings from Germany

    I found my first Puff ball! It was smaller and when I broke it open it looked like it was already spoiling - happy to have found it but also happy to leave it to go back into the soil ♡

      As they start to deteriorate, they will turn yellowish.

  • @ophthodoc

    I would never be able to eat a wild mushroom. Maybe with the exception of a morel... Just the thought of mushroom poisoning...

    • @TimFarmerCK
      @TimFarmerCK  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      There are plenty of ways to educate yourself. When you spend the time to key out particular parts of the mushroom, and understand the varieties, it will become very clear. The awards are amazing. Next week we include a chicken of the woods mushroom with our meal. It was outstanding. If you know what to look for, you cannot make a mistake. Diligence and research is worth the effort.

    On your opening theme (Love your theme) when you say “try some food you’ve never tried before” I use to hunt those mushrooms with an old girlfriend but could never find them. We live in Carter County Kentucky. When is the best time to hunt those mushrooms

    How exactly would I know if a mushroom is poison or no?

    • @TimFarmerCK
      @TimFarmerCK  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      By educating yourself, reading, observing, talking with experts, looking up websites dedicated to mushroom ID.

    Nature is just overwhelming sometimes. The older I get the more amazed I am by the sheer diversity of life. And we get hung up on a few races and cultures? It's laughable and sad at the same time.

      Timothy Farmer (born March 18, 1964) is an American outdoorsman, musician, and television presenter. He is known as the host and executive producer of the television shows Kentucky Afield, Tim Farmer's Country Kitchen, and Tim Farmer's Homemade Jam.,[1] for which he has won a total of five regional Emmy awards.[2] A motorcycle accident in 1984 left Farmer without the use of his right arm, and he has since worked with other Kentuckians to cope with and overcome similar physical disabilities [3][4].
