The ringless honey has a lot of of look-alikes, but all of them have rings. Ringless Honey Mushroom (Armillaria tabescens) Both species often grow together, generally in pine woods. They are smaller, sometimes much smaller, than the better-known golden chanterelles, but similarly excellent in flavor. Cinnabar Chanterelle (Cantharellus cinnabarinus)Ĭinnabar, or red, chanterelles can be anywhere from pink to orange in color, making them difficult to mistake. Slice the gills with a knife and they ooze a blue liquid, the “milk” of the “milk-cap.” The color usually fades a bit during cooking, unless the mushrooms are pickled or blanched first-techniques that tend to fade the otherwise rich flavor instead. The indigo milk-cap is, as the name implies, blue. Here, we explore a couple of Florida’s edible species, but bear in mind, not all of them are entirely safe. Is this look-alike so close both species ought to be avoided, just in case? Is this other species an edible that makes some people sick, or a poisonous species that some can eat safely? It’s hard to know where to draw the line. As a result, the list of edible mushrooms varies a bit, depending on whom you ask. Then there is the issue of poisonous look-alikes, another difficult subject, given that what looks alike to a beginner might look very different to an experienced collector. This is a project that will continue and we hope to make an impact along the way.In Florida, as elsewhere, “edible mushroom” is something of a moving target in that there are a lot of species that can be safely eaten by some people sometimes, while making other people-or even the same people-sick at other times. It was not easy, but we are thrilled to finally be able to share this with you. This project was a huge undertaking, and our very first time creating something of this magnitude. We were able to rent cameras, audio equipment, lenses, everything we needed. We were also able to film an interview in Orlando with Chandra Waters, and interviews with two students at Felix Varela High School in Kendall. Using Homestead as a base, we were able to film there, Hialeah, Kendall, Miami Gardens, and the vicinity. We met the wonderful volunteers at Paws 4 You, spoke with veterinarians at Knowles Animal Hospital, and met donor Robin Grahl who we interviewed with her family. She was rescued, and is now loved and cared for. The puppy was shaking and crying as a storm approached. The other was found when we were feeding with a volunteer. One dog now called Ruby was found by Maria Torres, who we interviewed. In that time, we conducted over 15 interviews and followed multiple Redland Rock Pit dog feeding volunteers to their feeding locations capturing video all along the way. The first trip was six days, and the second was two days. We were able to fund two trips to Homestead, Fl. Our campaign raised $5,598 bringing the 10% donation to Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project to $560. Hundreds of hours went into making this happen. ![]() We thank you for your support from start to finish, and hope that this film brings support and awareness to the plight of homeless dogs. ![]() Thanks to YOU- we are able to make this film a reality. We Ran A Successful Kickstarter Campaign! The dogs of today are not equipped for life in the wild of today. Cars zoom down the streets, trash pollution is easily consumable, abuse is rampant, and just these reasons alone make the 21st century a much less habitable place for the domestic dog outside of a home. Our ever-increasing human population doesn’t make the world any easier for other animals to live in. ![]() The trials they face are much larger though. In some places of the world, dogs roam the streets in large numbers and in turn form into packs as they would have lived before modern domestication. The concept of a pet varies widely as well. The dogs and the garbage go hand in hand with this issue that touches all aspects of human life as we live in an ever disposable society. Everything becomes threatened where there is such a negligence towards life and our home planet.ĭomestic dogs are viewed differently all over the world. Everyone becomes threatened by humans who dump their belongings with no regard for the life it disrupts, and the planet it is harming. Illegal dumping of all kinds is occurring. Even other states are getting involved to rescue these dogs as there is not enough local support. To others, it is making living in the area almost unbearable. A homeless dog population in South Florida is garnering mixed reactions. ![]()
