“Shrimp of the woods mushrooms look like a lump of dog poop, but they actually have a mild fish flavor and make great breaded shrimp,” Gabrielle Cerberville tells the audience at a recent foraging talk.Other edible varieties of mushrooms taste like crab, lobster, maple syrup, and apricots.
Cerberville, otherwise known as Chaotic Forager and sometimes as the Internet’s Mushroom Auntie, is a celebrated foraging educator, community mycologist, and climate advocate based in the Charlottesville area.
