Mushroom hunting

[FarmerTan]

I brought home about a 5 gallon bucketful of chicken of the woods from our farm today.

Is this a mushroom type of food?

From what I have read, it is a great tasty mushroom.

Fiddleheads. I purchased some from our local grocery one year. They were very good, but they need to be cooked shortly after purchase as they don't store well. They are also a bit expensive to purchase. I would get them in the back woods if I knew what I was looking for, as I don't know if all young ferns taste good when cooked or just a certain variety.

I was very impressed eating some of those earlier this year.

The specific species was Ostrich Fern.

The identifying characteristic is a deep U shaped cross section of the stalk,
like a celery stalk.

Picked a Comb Tooth Mushroom today.

There's still some Black Trumpets and Chanterelles,
but really their season is over.

South Carolina has been very dry this year, almost no luck at all. We're just now getting a teeny bit of rain.

 

[brucered]

I see "lobster" mushrooms all the time on my trail running route. I've never tried them as I don'tike mushrooms, but see people hunting for them all the time.

They are bright orange, gnarly shaped and usually as big as my fist, sometimes bigger.

I found a log full of golden oyster mushrooms by the roadside yesterday and grabbed as many as I could carry. Grilled them up in a little olive oil and adobo spice and made fresh tacos with mango avocado tomato cilantro salsa.

They grilled really well, didn’t stick to the grill pan at all. They’re not super flavorful cooked other ways, so this is the way to go.

That's a tricky one.

The Lobster Mushroom is the result of a fungal infection on another mushroom.

If the original mushroom is nontoxic, like a Russula, then great.

But if you're unable to rule out deadly Amanita as the foundation mushroom,
then ...

Picked a Comb Tooth Mushroom today.

There's still some Black Trumpets and Chanterelles,
but really their season is over.

This is the first time that I've eaten a Tooth Mushroom.
It has a strong conventional mushroom flavor,
unlike Black Trumpets and Chanterelles which have different flavors.

Here's the tooth:

I'll be out mushroom hunting Friday afternoon with friends. Cèpes and chanterelles are what we'll be searching for. A nice way to spend time in the woods.

 

[Alum of Potash]

No cèpes today, but these are a type of chanterelle known as "girolle" here. Later served up in a nice quiche for dinner tonight. First time I've searched for them. A different taste and environmental setting than the slimmer chanterelles we normally search for.

I'm no expert in mushrooms. I just hunt for them with my wife's family and friends, who all know the area well and show me what to search for and where.

When people say "Chanterelle" without specifying which type,
that's the one.

 

[Alum of Potash]

All I know is what folks call them here. "Girolle" on the left and "chanterelle" on the right as depicted in the link below, along with the accompanying descriptive qualifications in French.

What is the difference between chanterelle and chanterelle?​

2022-07-13 Miscellaneous 0
Are you new to picking mushrooms and want to know the difference between chanterelle and chanterelle?
We explain the nuance between these two terms in this article!

Photo of chanterelle and chanterelle and their differences

A difference in species between chanterelle and chanterelle​

Chanterelles belong to the genus “Cantharellus” while chanterelles belong to the genus “Craterellus”. This distinction was made thanks to a molecular phylogenetic study which made it possible to distinguish these two families and to offer a clearer classification.
We will see later that it is in particular a morphological criterion which makes it possible to distinguish between these two families (Cantharellus, craterellus).
In addition, we take this opportunity to tell you about our mushroom cards! Find the best spots for chanterelles and chanterelles thanks to our maps!

Chanterelle or chanterelle: morphological difference​

The foot of the chanterelle and the chanterelle​

The most telling distinction and relevant to the phylogenetic study that we have discussed relates to the hollow nature or not of the foot of the fungus. If the stipe (foot) is hollow, then it is the genus craterellus to which the trumpets of death and the chanterelles belong. On the other hand, if the foot is full, then it is rather the cantharellus genus to which chanterelles belong.
Of course, this criterion is not the only one to take into account. And when you are familiar with chanterelles and chanterelles, it is very easy to make the distinction. Let’s see some criteria on the morphological differences between chanterelles and chanterelles:

Other Differences Between Chanterelle and Chanterelle​

• The chanterelle is fleshy while the chanterelle is thin and hollow.
• The chanterelle has a homogeneous and fairly lively color while the chanterelle is less united and duller.
• The chanterelle often has a small hole in the center of the cap. This is not the case with the chanterelle.
• The chanterelle is often more slender, thinner. The chanterelle is quite massive.

The chanterelle tastes different from the chanterelle​

The last criterion that distinguishes the chanterelle from the chanterelle is the taste!

• Chanterelle has a taste of yellow fruit. Its taste strangely resembles that of apricot or peach. In addition, its chew is very pleasant. We feel all the fungus under the tooth.
• The chanterelle has a smokier taste. Its taste is more earthy and less sweet than chanterelle. Its chew is very elastic and its appearance more sticky under the tooth.

Chanterelle Mushrooms: Identification, Foraging, and Look-Alikes

Proper identification of chanterelle mushrooms is crucial if you want to start harvesting them from the wild. There are poisonous false species; so making a mistake could lead to a miserable intestinal adventure. Yet don't

[Alum of Potash]

I'm kind of reassured that Google Translate can't make heads or tails of things. Looks like it's down to lonely old me in this case.

In essence, the difference between a girolle and a chanterelle as termed in northeastern France relates to the following from what I've gleaned from the article as linked as well as from a conversation with my brother-in-law this afternoon:

• the girolle has a solid stem whereas the chanterelle's is hollow;
• the girolle is brightly colored yellow whereas the chanterelle's coloration is more earthen;
• the girolle has a more convex head whereas the chanterelle has a sunken dimple in the head;
• the girolle's taste is closer to a burning "mushroom" taste along the lines of a cèpe, with a lingering return, whereas the chanterelle has a taste of "the forest" with no lingering return;
• the girolle is not a mushroom that dries well, as it is fairly dry upon harvest, whereas the chanterelle is one that dries well and is marketed as such in supermarkets around the world.

Yet things become complicated when one refers to the Latin classification nomenclature. The name for the girolle in Latin as known here is "cantharellus" which translates to "chanterelle." So in this regard, you may be correct to say that the girolle is a chanterelle as commonly known. In contrast, the name for the chanterelle in Latin as known here is "craterellus" which relates to the crater or hollowed dimple in the head.

Hope this makes sense. And again, I'm no expert in mushrooms, just learning this all on the fly.

Bottom line from what everyone tells me here is that there are around five types of mushrooms that one cannot mistake. Learn those and stay with those, their environments and climactic conditions. Head out with an experienced local guide following these principles in starting out and stay with them.

I saw some Popinki in the woods today.

That's Honey Mushroom in parts of the USA where they don't know that word.

 

[DrStrange]

Found some chanterelles yesterday. They were ok in some places
but some looked bleached and old. I may have missed the peak of the season.



I have known

Cantharellus cibarius ​

as the common chanterelle, but I see it listed as The Golden chanterelle now.



Cantharellus lateritius is called The Smooth Chanterelle.

The mushrooms aren't toxic but the red efts certainly are!
