svs Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Are those little mushrooms from chantelelle family. They are about half inch in diameter. I found 2. I will need about a thousand of those to prepare a single meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Oak Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yes! Cantherellus Cinnabarinus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svs Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Thank you Old Oak. Do they grow bigger? Should I left them to grow. They are tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Oak Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Nope. They are really small. Just gotta find a bunch or cook them up with other mushrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DufferinShroomer Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 If you find a good patch of these in a spot where nobody else is likely to pick them you can sort of farm them. The caps will grow to a bit more than an inch across and if you harvest only the biggest of them the rest will continue to grow if conditions are right. I once milked a patch doing that for a period of 3 weeks and I harvested thousands. The interesting thing is that if you leave the small ones even if someone finds the patch they will likely leave it alone because there are only the small ones there. My best haul was 700+ in one picking. Slow work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawg Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Look like cinnabars to me , but I have recently gotten confused with a type of hygrocybe ..These are cinnabars .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamilleR Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I've seen the caps up to 2 inches under ideal conditions. In the top two pictures the stem colors don't look right. Maybe they're infected with something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I have a patch that I keep an eye on. They are slow growing and the slugs do some damage. As Camille said the top two look a little different. No cross veining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'd say all of svs's mushrooms seen here are C. cinnabarinus. The pale/yellow stalks on a few may be due to the stalks being buried in the substrate. Maybe buried in moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
