brendan Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Found these this morning. First I saw the cluster on the ground and thought “oh nice!” Then I saw they were growing on several logs (pine no less) and the base of a tree as well. Weird! I’m sure there must just be enough dirt/moss on the wood surface to support them, but how funny, chants behaving as jack lookalikes instead of the other way around. The sun was pretty low in the sky, sorry for the glare in some of the pics I couldn’t get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJay Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Very neat! Share pics if can (Internals). The hollow top is uncharacteristic for golden chants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 These look more like Yellowfoot or Winter Chanterelles, Craterellus tubaeformis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamilleR Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yes very nice! I found my biggest haul of those this year. Over a pound of them before dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you generally dry chanterelles, or just the thinner varieties? I was going to try drying some this year but had always heard they didn't rehydrate too well.

vitog Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Many sources say that the larger Chanterelles (cibarius types) don't dry well, but I like the resulting slightly chewy texture. However, Winter Chanterelles dry and reconstitute very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
