Bre_543 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thought these may be yellowfoot chanterelles, or some look a like? Found in mixed forest Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 If not Yellow Foots --Craterellus ignicolor-- then a species very close to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bre_543 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thank-you, after doing a bit more research I believe these are Craterellus Lutescens as they have more smooth wrinkles than distinct false gills. Also the smell was pretty fragrant to me they smelt a lot like a black trumpet. I couldn't find a whole lot on edibility although some sources did list this as edible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I think you are correct, Bre. I knew there was another species name other than ignicolor that probably applied here, but I didn't recall it until you reminded me, lutescens. I've never heard of anyone having any problems eating Craterellus mushrooms. Years back i tried a few different types --probably including this one, which had been called xanthopus. Probably similar in quality to C. tubaeformis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
