Forager buddies, show us your booty.

I have been hunting that sweet sweet shroom lately.

I love wild mushrooms. I preserve these by freezing.

I tell myself they are healthy, while dousing them in cream and butter.

So fucking jelly, I can never find Chantrelles here in Albera.

What kind of tree stands do you find them near? Moss, grass, pine blanket?

I take my rowing boat up and down a river and usually find them on the river bank under birches and mixed evergreens.

Brb, driving down to the river.

That is where I have found most of them, but just yesterday I was up in the hills and found a lot of them growing in relatively dry sandy ground..

[Anonymous No.19589064]

Oh and I believe they have some sort of a relationship with birch trees.

I stopped picking them for now. I have way too much already and milkcaps are blooming, so I am getting as many as I can. I prefer their stronger taste.

[Anonymous No.19589079]

>>19589055
Btw, once you find a spot, those little fukkers will reappear in the exact same spot the next year. You will have a few weeks to get as many as you want from that spot. They will sprout new ones every two days for a few weeks.

[Anonymous No.19589090]

Chanterelles are also extremely rich in sugars that animals such as deer go crazy over. So, often it is a race against nature to get to the mushrooms before deer and other animals wreck the spot.

[Anonymous No.19589174]

The best way to find chanterelles is to offer a beer to a local dude in a pub and get him to reveal a spot....

How do I get into foraging? Buy a mushroom book identifier?

[Anonymous No.19589222]

>>19589214
Learn one mushroom at a time. Never pick anything you have not identified positively.

Online is better than books. Pick a mushroom that is distinct, available and does not have deadly relatives / lookalikes. These are all found in online guides.

You could also start with less dangerous stuff such as berries, roots...

nettles are something i started with as a kid. Better than spinach

Here's what I found however. Some nice fresh examples of leccinum (first time I've seen one with a solid brown cap like that), a couple different types of suillus (yellow sponge pores) and something entirely new to me on the right. I'm pretty sure it's edible but I need to ID it first.

Here's the type of wood I foraged. Most of these only occur with a mixture of birch/aspen and spruce/pine/fir.

[Anonymous No.19589948]

I'll post some of my findings from this season in this thread. It's been a terrific July/August for Porcinis and Chanterelles so far. These, to be specific, are 'Summer Ceps'. As far as I'm concerned, they are the superior version of Porcini as they are less prone to be infested by insects, and they tend to be a bit firmer.

How likely is it to get poisoned? Are the bad mushrooms very obvious compared to the good ones?
The people were killed in Australia from poisonous mushrooms but it seems like it's was done on purpose

>How likely is it to get poisoned?
Very little, unless you're intellectually retarded and start shoving down random mushrooms down your face without any prior research.

Are the bad mushrooms very obvious compared to the good ones?

Mostly, yes.
Find your local mycological society and research what the most common edible species are in your area. Stick to those first.

I figured, lucky bastard. No hardwood forests up here in NW Alberta.

[Anonymous No.19590127]

The standard type of Porcini can be found in pine forests as well. Like this one.

[Anonymous No.19590149]

I'll finish spamming this thread with two fun ones from last season. This is breaded Parasol Mushrooms. Serve them with some lemon and a salad. Works as a full meal, surprisingly, as the mushrooms taste very 'meaty'. Delicious.

[Anonymous No.19590155]

Liberty Caps. They like it cold, so they won't pop up from the ground until September/October, most likely.

Yeah, she's definitely guilty.

They are all milk caps, a mixture of them. I believe what is in your picture is a type of bearded milk cap, but can't identify based on a picture alone.
