Adawg Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I was going through some of my photos from 2016, and came across this shot of what I called C, Cinnabarius . They had a wonderful chanty flavor, so I am quite certain that my ID was correct. But looking through the Mushroom Observer photos, I saw what was ID as hygrocybe . If I had found that mushroom my first thought would have been C. Cinnabarius .Is there an obvious difference for field ID purpose . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 The one thing I generally look for in chanterelles is veining running between the gills. It looks like you can just see this on the mushroom with the gills fully exposed in the left of the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hygrocybe have a hollow, fibrous stalk and chants are solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Looks like Cinnabar Chants to me, although the gills seem particularly well-formed for a Cantharellus species. Like John said, being able to see between the gills (for veins) would be helpful. Zoom doesn't work on the photo, I guess because the resolution falls short. Evan makes an excellent point that the stalks not being hollow points away from Hygrocybe. Internal flesh white (appears to be the case) supports a C. cinnabarinus proposal.

Adawg Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the input all . Constant learning process here . But I thought I had a handle on Chant group ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Around here there are at least six different species in the Cantharellus/Craterellus group. I suspect there may be more. The learning and discovery part is what makes this fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 The chanties I found last year had hollow stems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Eat-bolete, those look like Craterellus ignicolor, or at least some species of Craterellus. One difference between most Cantharellus (true Chanterelles) and Craterellus, is that Craterellus mushrooms have stems that become hollow. A few species of Cantharellus have stems that are hollow --or at least become hollow. But the species lumped under the names Yellow Chanterelle and Cinnabar Chanterelle have stems that are solid and remain so at maturity.

John Smalldridge Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I agree with Dave, Craterellus ignicolor. These usually have a visible hole in the center of the cap that extends down through the stem. Also the cap and gill color is often darker than Cantharellus cibarius and Cantharellus minor.

Inmar Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 This "lisichka" - Russian "little fox" ...We eat these mushrooms at once, storage baa ..-----------------------"Lisichka" must not be frozen - it becomes bitter ...10 days can be stored in the fridge - it's right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
