That's some good eating!

I have a new neighbor who is an experienced mushroom hunter. So I'm finally taking the plunge with his help with verification that it's safe to eat. So far I've found those plus some wine caps & morrells. Going to try growing some shitakes soon.

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

So far, I know (well enough to very tentativly trust myself) morels, oysters, and chantarelles. Others I think I'll be OK with, if I'm ever lucky enough are chicken of the woods, maititake, puffball, turkey trail, and lions mane. I tried cultivating a few varieties, last year, but so far, nothing has come of those spores and inoculations. These are from a completely different part of our property, and were a very happy surprise I found, after checking in on John's progress in building his duck run, and heading down to check on the goats and chickens.

I washed these, tonight, and they're on the counter, to air dry, tonight. Tomorrow, I'll trim and sort them. Some will be included in tomorrow night's dinner, some may be added to omelets for breakfast, and the rest will likely be dehydrated, for winter, with some of the prettier ones being reserved whole, for serving in a recognized form, some will be chopped up, for pizzas, casseroles, and of course, more omelets and things, and the not at all pretty ones will be powdered, for boosting the flavor and nutrition in soups and stews.

Congratulations, Carla. That's quite the haul.

I had chanterelles at the cottage when I was young, and we only ever ate them in omelets.

I found out later that, because the flavour compounds in chanterelles are fat-soluble, that soaking them in cream, and then using that cream in the omelets would allow the chanterelle flavour to spread out and develop.

Nowadays, my chanterelles are usually bought at a farmers' market, but I always do a soak in cream or butter (I have never tried olive or coconut oil; I feel the latter might have too intrusive a taste, but the former might have some potential... chanterelle-flavoured olive oil... *drools*...).

Just to say, there's mushroom-envy happening here in BC...

Good score - is there a badge bit for that? Foraging, I believe, but I think you have to weigh them...

Just shy of 2lbs. I didn't take pics, other than these, though.

If memory serves I think only 1 lb (on a scale) is required for the foraging BBs.

Dinner - much, from our land, tonight: venison roast (John's November kill), with some of my chanterelle haul, sautéed in butter, with garlic & shallot, accompanied by John's homemade classic mead (local raw honey). Dessert: wild blackberries & sweet cream...
Hopefully, next year,  I'm hoping to do ALL of it from home, or at least local. The butter, cream, shallot & garlic were not - this year.

Wow Carla! That's a really good find!
Where I live now there are no chanterelles. In my childhood I lived more to the south-side of the country (the Netherlands) and from there we (my parents with us as kids) went to a forest even more to the south and there we found the chanterelles (if it was the right time of year). To taste real wild mushrooms you picked yourself ... store-bought ones are not comparable with that!
Where I live now I know some other edible mushrooms. But still I think chanterelles taste the best!

"Also, just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them" (Luke 6:31)

 
If you settle for what they are giving you, you deserve what you get. Fight for this tiny ad!
