Among all the foraged goods, mushrooms are the most popular among campers. It's the availability, abundance, easy access and versatility that make it a best option when you're preparing foods in the wild. Although cooking wild-caught mushrooms may not always be safe, you can always use clean and prepped mushrooms from home.
While roasting it over open fire remains a widely accepted method, there are many other recipes you can try with mushrooms. Let's explore!
