Mushroom Workshop in 2013/2013年のきのこ講習会

Let me talk a little bit about the mushroom workshop held in Minami Uonuma city last year, from 10:00 to 13:30, on Wednesday, October 9.
去年、南魚沼市で10月9日(水)10:00~13:30に開催されたきのこ講習会について少し話します。

The workshop was held in Ikazawa Camp Site.
講習会は五十沢(いかざわ)キャンプ場で行われました。
The participants were allowed to go mushroom hunting by noon.
参加者は12時まできのこ狩りができました。
I was not very interested in mushroom hunting in the mountains because the trees there are mostly cedar, and spent more time near the camp site, hoping to find some interesting mushrooms such as hatake shimeji (Lyophyllum decastes).
山にある木は杉が多かったので、あまり山の中できのこ狩りをする気にならず、私としては、ハタケシメジなど面白いきのこがないかどうか、キャンプ場で探す時間のほうが多かったです。

I did find some edible mushroom there, but only a small quantity of it. When I showed it to the lecturer later, he said he wanted it, so I gave it to him.
食用きのこを見つけましたが、ほんの少量でした。後で講師に見せると、欲しいと言うので、あげました。

Very big pot!
とっても大きな鍋!
This pot contained mushroom soup. The participants were also given mushroom takikomi gohan.
鍋にはきのこ汁が入っていました。参加者は、きのこの炊き込みご飯ももらえました。
Generous amount of mushrooms!
きのこがたくさん!

Greetings from Singapore - your blog is very interesting! I found it while I was googling what sort of mushroom to put in okonomiyaki. I like all the descriptions of mushrooms and mushroom hunting! I didn't know Japan had such an abundant mushroom culture!

Vina: Japan is a mountainous country, so it's natural that we love mushrooms. It's also an island country, so it's natural that we love fish and seafood!

I hope you had yummy okonomiyaki!

The Mushroom Workshop seems to be really informative. I showed your Blog to my wife. She want to grow mushrooms at home. We are trying Butter Mushrooms to make some vegetarian dish and of course some Soup.

seeandoh: I have grown shiitake, oyster, and maitake (hen-of-the-woods) mushrooms before. I also want to start growing less popular yet tasty mushrooms some day.
