I think theres no preferable way to mask magii mushrooms dung taste. trying to do that might ruin your taste buds for whatever.
usually if I ate something else it was after the fact I ate them, to help settle my stomach. though i hear koolaid tea is a nifty way to do it.

ok so i looked up double cream and there is no american version of double cream. i would have to make it with buttermilk adn whipping cream. i think ill just try it with whipping cream. thats 36% fat rather than the 48%.

Double cream weighs in at 48% butterfat, or at least 8% higher than the highest-fat cream available in the United States — heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, which is 36% to 40% fat. British recipes call for double cream because they can — it's available and adds lots of richness to your dish. Will your cake flop if you use heavy cream? Almost certainly not.

Can you get a higher-fat cream to use in the recipe? Yes, with a little effort on your part. The first step is to prepare a homemade version of crème frâiche. Combine 2 tablespoons of buttermilk or sour cream with 2 cups of heavy cream. Heat the mixture to body temperature in a pan, and then let the mixture sit in a non-reactive container (stainless-steel, glass, or ceramic) in a warm place for 24 hours or so, until it thickens.

Step 2 is to line a strainer with a triple thickness of cheesecloth or a wet napkin, fill it with the crème frâiche, and suspend that over a container in the refrigerator. The whey will drain out of the cream, leaving it with a higher fat content. By the time about a quarter of a cup of whey drains from your 2 cups of crème frâiche, you will have a fat content around 48% to 50%.

when it's gloopy and sumptuous, spoon it out onto some nice crunchy bloomer toast (letting it cool for 5 minutes really crisps it up) and grate some pecorino cheese on the top.

well, around here i guess. the fly agarics aren't edible, are they? they make you sick and hallucinate. there's supposed to be some other good tasting (edible) amanitas out there though. even that "angel of death" cap, is supposed to taste "pleasant and nutty" before it destroys your liver the next day.

My buddies took some fly agarics and vomited all night. I am so down with the fungi! I am a National Geographic nerd at heart. I love hunting for mushrooms especially when I go camping and then fry them up in some butter. Mmm...morels are expensive to buy and sell if you can get you hands on some do it. One summer we ate fresh morels and it was fabulous! I am going to hunt this year for them.
