Chanterelles and Garlic

[bowtarist]

Found two and a half plastic grocery bags of chanterelles the other day. Put four large freezer bags and four quart freezer bags in the freezer and ate mushrooms for two days.  A little rain would bring them up again, but if not soon the season is nearly over here.

Cooper and I picked are garlic the other day too. I cut the roots and he cleaned the heads.  Some of the best garlic we've grown. Looks like Coops's chiggers are actin up. 

HAve a gooder, thanks for lookin, dpgratz

Man, I wish I could trade some of the ones we have for some of the tastie ones you Northern guys have.

[Ed Brooks]

Eddie, I can ship some this fall/winter if we end up with some. What kind of mushrooms do you have down there?

[mullet]

Mind altering ones psylicibin, the only edibles I've ever dared to eat were some dwarf Chanterelles. I didn't even know they grew here. I took about ten pictures of and sent them to Steve Parker, and he said,,"maybe"??, I cooked and ate half a baggie full and didn't fall over so I guess they were good.

If I find anymore maybe I can dry some for ya Eddie. Can you do the same?  Oh...never mind, it was just a thought.  dp

     Stay out of the cow pasture Eddie!   I hope your Son washed his hands.   Well at least his right hand. ......   Chiggers!   Nasty little spiders!
Those beet tops are great tasting also.  Never had Chanterelles .  Afraid to eat mushroom in the wild.  Don't know enough about them to take a chance.  I thought I could pick out Morels, but then found out there is a false Morel.      I guess I will just have to stick to store bought ones.

Nice looking bunch of chanterelles. It's a good mushroom year here with all the rain. I've found chanterelles here until early October-summer shroom season is just getting cranked up here.

Eddie-we picked a big ol mess of chanterelles down at Chris's a couple weekends ago-they were everywhere, probably the most chanterelles I've ever seen anywhere at one time. Unfortunately, most of them were a few days past picking, but we managed to get a humongous mess of them to cook for supper.  Chris is the mad chanterelle picker now since he learned how to ID them.

Were they in pine needles? That's where I found the little ones down here in the swamp.

Naw, the big chanterelles are usually micorrhyzal with oak trees.
