First trip of the season went well. I took four people, most of them college kids from the neighborhood. Everyone came home with a full bag.

Ruh roh..

Dang, I sure miss the chanterelles I used to get over on the coast.

That cauliflower one good to eat?

Somehow, this makes me laugh.

Uncontrollably.

Geno,
Yeah they are really good. I don't find them but once every few years. This was in the Coast Range not far from your old stomping grounds.

You were down in Cali?

Or Coast range south of your place?

Private timberlands outside Eureka/Arcata were full of the chanterelles. I once picked two of the big paper grocery bags in about 20 minutes on one slope when deer hunting was slow. I was going home with something to eat at least.

Up near me. Woods are full of them now.

If we didn't have an injured dog that needs watching when one of us has other things to do, I might be sorely tempted to make a trip over to the coast. Maybe harvest some mussels on the coast around Trinidad too.

Enjoy them shrooms!

I'm enlightened.

No fuggin doubt!

Son told me he tried those lobster mushrooms a couple weeks ago. Said really good flavour but they stay kinda “crunchy” after cooking.

Haven't been to my secret chanterelle and lobster mushroom spot this year. Might try and make it in the next few days, if I can get ahead of the stumps I'm trying to get dug out with the rented excavator. So far not looking good.

In the mean time here is a great way to preserve either. After they've cured for a while in the 'fridge I freeze jars of them. They're delish.

Those sound delicious Steve.

Never tried that, I've just used the dehydrator and stored the chanterelles in jars in the cupboard.

They are. Good on an antipasti plate.

Chanterelles, hen of the woods and oyster mushroom around here this time of the year.

Very tasty!

I have been looking for hen of the woods and some others, but only getting some edibles that are not the greatest. Don't ever try to feast on Dryad's saddle, because, well of the saddle part!

Hunted them up in Washington state. . Chanterelles are delicious.

The fun kind? 🤗

Our shrooms is over. that cauliflower one is neat, easy to I'd.. we have a coral that's similar.. Loaded up on King Bolets Aug/Sept..

Chanterelles just coming on here.Most lobsters are over ripe.

Poor mushroom fall over here in my area. The rain came too late and the cold came too early. Did find a few, plus one cauliflower.

OK guys, what kind of woods do those cauliflower ones grow in?

Pine?

Spruce/Fir?

Near oaks or other hardwoods like big leaf maple on the coast?

I can't recall ever having seen one in all my years of running around in various places
