Mushrooms Anyone

[mrsrunningbear]

When out picking berries this morning we hit the JACKPOT!!
Golden Chanterelle Mushrooms!!!!!
This is one of the world's most highly prized mushroom and we FOUND SOME!!
We've been looking for them for years!!! They smell amazing, kinda like apricots.
Can't wait to taste them tonight!

10/4 mrs. rb. We would have sent someone to check on ya anyway! My grandmother would take the shrooms and string them together and hang them in the furnace room to dry. Use a gps to mark the spot so you can go back next year.

LOL thunderstruck, I'm gonna need BIGFOOTS help I want MORE!!

and to your question.....Yes you can freeze, can and dry many mushrooms most books will tell you which to do for the kind of mushroom you have. I'm hoping to find more so I can dry them I like doing that the best, we have a Wild Game Feast on New Years Eve and the Chanterelles would be a great addition to the menu

A Hunting I will go tomorrow!!

I have an idea for you. Since I can't claim to be an experienced mushroom hunter just a experienced " eater " I have always wanted to train my dog to find them. Then have her " alert - bark " when she's locates them. I have never found many my self and even went as far as taking my son & his friends out with me. Problem with the kids is they get tired of walking, and loose interest. Yu know I'll stop at nothing to find the ever elusive morels. In the last few years I have resorted to bartering with shroom hunters luckier than myself. Always wanted to train my dog but she is older now and more of a " house dog " than anything.

We were out in the woods today searching for more Chanterelles and boy did we find them! We also found 16 other kinds of mushrooms all in this one area. One other edibile one we found is the Horn of Plenty this is the black trumpet looking one in the pictures. Unreal how many mushrooms were in these woods, very fun hunting today

You must be a mushroom expert.

Since we're on the subject, does anyone know what kind of schroom this one is? It came up in my front yard a couple of weeks ago (and just hapened to have something with me to gauge its size) but no one I've shown the picture to can identify it.

 

[ubee]

kind of looks like a red-haired Tricholoma dia. 2-6 inches ,height 2-8 inches,these mushrooms are common near pines! says many are edible !

 

[mrsrunningbear]

smgabe..well I would need a little more info and then I would still be just guessing but I am pretty good sooo

the under side of the cap did it have gills or no gills? looks like no gills

did it bruise/stain when you touched it or cut it?

was it yellow under the cap?

Ahhh love mushrooms!
