I was able to get out over the weekend and snagged some monster smooth chanterelles, a decent handful of gorgeous cinnabar chanterelles and some bonus Strobilomyces.
Chanterelles in PA still going strong!

I wish I would find some cinnabar ones where I live. I mostly get flavolateritius with a few Appalachian chanterelles and Smooth chanterelles mixed in.

It's incredible to me how orange they are over there. Here they are more a cheese like yellow.

What a gorgeous spread, though!

I've never seen those black ones. Where are you from?
polytropic@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 23d
I'm in Pennsylvania, USA. They're Strobilomyces strobilaceous, an edible black bolete known as old-man-of-the-woods.

those shits are why people don't pick mushrooms: "oh yeah this thing that looks like death incarnate? perfectly edible. Noononononono don't touch the one that looks like a champignon it'll erase you from the fabric of the universe!"

I'm European. No wonder I didn't know. Always cool to see what kind of stuff grows in other places.

Wow. Did you adjust the saturation in that photo, or do they actually look that vibrant?!
polytropic@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 23d
No adjustments at all! The cinnabars practically glow. Wish I had better camera equipment to capture them in situ.

Our friend gave us a shoebox full of these. Never had them before that, man did we become converted to the chanterelle religion.

Those boletes look very interesting, I never see any with that coloration around me. Do you know what species of Strobilomyces they are?
polytropic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 23d
Strobilomyces strobilaceous, or the nearly indistinguishable and also edible Strobilomyces confusus.
