In Australia, the mushroom picking season is eagerly anticipated by European Immigrants and as autumn has slowly creeps forward, it signals the brief season of wild pine mushrooms (which grow under pine trees) such as saffron milk caps and slippery jacks. Their abundance depends on the weather, as insufficient or excessive rain impedes their growth. Not that we have really had much rain lately anyways. Should you embark on a journey to pick mushrooms, always go with someone experienced or have the mushroom checked to ensure edibility. Don’t rely solely on European or American reference books, as Australia has its own varieties.
