As requested by my son, my son and I went mushroom hunting for the first time in this season.
息子のリクエストに応じて、息子と二人で今シーズン初めてきのこ狩りに行きました。
My son was overjoyed at being able to see beni tengu take (Amanita muscaria) again in the place where he found them last year.
息子はベニテングタケが去年見つけた場所にまたあるのを見つけて大喜びでした。
It may be hard to see from the photo below, this particular mushroom often appear in a circle.
下の写真では分かりにくいかも知れませんが、このきのこはよく円上に発生します。
My son says he likes this photo the best.
息子はこの写真が一番気に入っているそうです。

This mushroom is POISONOUS.
このきのこは毒きのこです。
He found one tamago take (Amanita hemibapha) near the poisonous mushroom.
この毒きのこの近くでタマゴタケも見つけました。
This mushroom is edible.
このきのこは食べれます。
My son then found some yamaboshi (Kousa Dogwood) berries.
(Sorry, blurry)
（ピンボケです）
Later, we found some naratake (honey mushrooms).
その後、ナラタケを見つけました。
And, some oyster mushrooms.
それから、ヒラタケも。
All the mushrooms we got that day.
その日採れたきのこ全部。

ヤマボウシの実のクローズアップ：
As requested by my son, I put all edible mushrooms in soup, except the hotei shimeji (Clitocybe clavipes (Pers. : Fr.) Kummer), in a small container. This mushroom will be poisonous when eaten with alcohol.
息子のリクエストに応じて、食用のきのこは全て汁に入れましたが、ホテイシメジだけは小さな容器に入れました。ホテイシメジはお酒と一緒に食べると中毒します。

Such a coincidence: I have just talked to my mum who also went mushroom picking today and was now cleaning mushrooms, pickling and drying.
I envy you so much! I have no one here who goes mushroom picking (I would never dare going alone), but I have always enjoyed it as a child (as well as fishing!). It's always interesting to see the Japanese varieties and the way you prepare mushrooms too. Your son never ceases to impress me! Can I come mushroom picking with you next year? Just joking!
Sissi: Don't envy me (laugh)! I'm reluctant to go mushroom hunting myself!
Do those berries taste nice? I know about the trees from gardens and parks around here. The blossoms are very pretty but nobody eats the fruits (they are very decorative).
Mushroom hunting is not that bad at all: Lots of fresh air, sportive activity and something to eat.
Kiki: My son said they were very sweet, but I'd say they are slightly sweet. They have a lot of seeds in them, so you just have to eat them whole and spit out the seeds.
Mushroom hunting should be refreshing, of course, but that's only when you have nothing else to do!
I've always wanted to go mushroom hunting! I always enjoy your foraging blogs.
Yay! Another mushroom hunting post! Always so fun to read and see what you both found.
muskratbyte and Yangsze: Thank you both for your kind words, but I really can't be into mushroom hunting. I have lots of other things to do on weekends, and mushroom hunting takes almost a whole day!
Did he pick the amanita muscaria...?! Did you eat them? I know that they aren't poisonous when parboiled, but I still wouldn't be able to trust my son if he came home with hallucinogenic mushrooms.
cma: He did pick them up, observed them, and discarded them, natually! We know they are highly poisonous, yet my son likes them for their distinctive color and shape. Just call him a mushroom geek (laugh)!
