Hi Dave=2C
=20
In my personal experience=2C a few of the mushrooms considered edible/choic=
e seem to have a metallic aftertaste=2C most notably Coprinus comatus (shag=
gy mane) and Boletus edulis -- so much so for these particular two species =
that I finally stopped bothering to pick them even when they were found in =
abundance. I remember eating honey mushrooms long ago=2C but if they had t=
he same issue I don't recall it. Coprinus spp. often grow on buried/rottin=
g stumps and Boletus spp. are typically mycorrhizal=2C so maybe it's the tr=
ee's fault?
