Paluqutat - Deer Mushroom

:

PALUQUTAT-DEER MUSHROOM

(PLUTEUS CERVINUS)

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF MUSHROOM IN HOOPER BAY. THE RED MUSHROOM IS NOT EDIBLE. BUT THE BROWN MUSHROOMS, "PALUQUTAT" ARE. YOU CAN MIX THEM WITH SALMONBERRIES SO THAT THEY ARE SOUR AND JUICY AND EAT THEM OR YOU CAN EAT THEM RAW WITH SEAL OIL. BUT YOU DON'T COOK THEM. THESE ARE THE KIND THAT THE REINDEER ALSO USED TO EAT IN THE PAST.
