Bre_543 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 So I found two different species of “yellow foot” today in Ontario. One I think being what I typically see listed as yellow foot (Craterellus tubaeformis) and the other variation I believe is Craterellus lutescens. They look similar but the tubaeformis was darker with more distinct “gills” the lutescens more wavy and oddly shaped and smoother underneath. Does anyone have experience eating these mushrooms? C.

The Mushroom Whisperer Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I love them. And a friend made me some amazing broth from dried ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 When I find tubaeformis, I collect it for eating. I've not ever tried Craterellus lutescens. I am not aware of any problem species in genus Craterellus. If I found some C. lutescens, I'd probably give them a try. BTW, I think that's what you have here (the yellow ones)... https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=C&l=l&nom=Craterellus lutescens / Craterelle jaunissante&tag=Craterellus lutescens&gro=11.

Bre_543 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks, I will definitely give the tubaeformis a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 They also dry quite well, better than the regular chanterelles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
