sarcomere Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hey all, Just stumbled upon this little guy amongst a grove of oaks I believe (included a picture of the tree and leaves for reference because I have no experience identifying trees). It seemed to be a bit trampled when I found it, but still pretty surprisingly in tact. I say it might be a chanterelle because (well I hope so, for one) my friend had told me he finds them around this spot, and it seems to hold a few notable characteristics, though maybe unripe. This was yesterday afternoon, about 5-7 days after the last rainfall. Interested to see what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Possibly a chanterelle, but it's been trampled/squashed and it also appears to be partly covered in dirt. I'd feel better about providing an opinion after seeing a few intact mushrooms from a few different angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcomere Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Ah yes hahah I wish I could've found some more in tact ones, but I think I got there a little too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 It definitely has the classic triangle shape of a young Cantharellus californicus, and the habitat is right. But, like Dave said it's too beat up to tell. Do you still have it? It looks like there is a part of the cap that has an intact underside showing some veining, can you post a pic of that?
