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.
Image I think what we find mostly is Cantharellus flavolateritius.
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 now a cheese like yellow.

What a gorgeous spread, though!

I’ve never seen those black ones. Where are you from?
polytropic@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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 3 weeks ago
No adjustments at all! The cinnabars practically glow. Wish I had better camera equipment to capture them in situ.

Amazing!

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 weeks ago
Strobilomyces strobilaceous, or the nearly indistinguishable and also edible Strobilomyces confusus.

ImageImage My first time finding these absolute beauties. I’m not sure if they’re Cantharellus corallinus or Cantharellus cinnabarinus.
