I think murder roaches are awesome. Had a Dish Buddy couple days back. The local sort is desert colored and blur-fast on its feet.

I didn't know there were so many types in Cali.

He was huge. Half the reason it freaked me out. "Dear god what creature is this coming at me." He started crawling towards my bed, so I reached out my hand to see if he would crawl on it, not knowing if they can kill you, and to my excitement he did crawl on my hand. I was just about to get a picture… to prove to you all how brave and mod-like I am. But he fluttered away to the next yard. Neat little part to my day.

Those look to be what we call Shaggy Mane here.In the USA what we call inky caps are a more robust-looking species. The young ones (before they darken and liquefy) are reported to be yummy.
I picked a bunch of them & sauteed em with a bit of fresh garlic before freezing to bring home from Moose hunting this year (and coincidentally having some tonight with M steak).
And you definitely have to get them early - once they start to ink out it's over.

I remember when my dad brought home forest treasure - chanterelles or Herrenpilze (Italians call them porcini). He’d slice them thin, then ssllooww-cook them in butter. I didn’t care much for the Boletus esculentus, but oh man those chanterelles.
