Hello Sweden and your welcome! My husband is learning to speak Swedish actually! I hope you do find a place like ours to pick mushrooms someday! It is such a fun hobby!
oh wow.. you did find a nice patch! I picked about 5-6 pails worth...I then reduced it by frying off all the water.The mushrooms reduced down to about one whole grocery bag worth's, that I bagged in individual plastic baggies and froze. Still enough to last me till next season!
thanks for the info on prep of mushrooms! not too sure as to what area central Man is? what mushrooms do you find beside morels in the spring? how was the harvest this year?. what is your pickle recipe?
what part of manitoba was that? I know there are also yellow chanterilles in the parkland area too.. How did you prepare all of those mushroom? Did you find any lobster mushrooms as they do go hand in hand together
@TheZatKen We are in Central Manitoba, I pickle most of the mushrooms we pick and then I also chop them and sautee them till they're 1/2 way done then put them in the freezer. Then during the winter when we have venison steaks on the grill I take out a bag of the frozen mushrooms and sautee them until they start to brown. And yes we found Lobster mushrooms. Those we love to eat in fettucini alfredo or with eggs. Happy mushroom hunting to you!
@msrussky777 Lobster mushrooms are nothing but kidney pains from my experiences.I'd rather drink my self silly then let that mushroom do damage. Not to mention it's very woody and isn't really palatable.
That is too bad that you had a bad experience with Lobster mushrooms, they need to be consumed before they are too old otherwise they do get "woody". When cooked with pasta is tastes like shrimp, especially when you sautee it with garlic! Also be sure you know the source of the lobster mushroom, they are a parasitic mushroom and have been known to come from poisonous sources at times.
Thats funny cuz I am originally from Minnesota! I have hunted for Chanterelles in Minnesota before but have never found any. In our part of Manitoba they grow anywhere from Mid July till the end of August. Northern Manitoba is a little later.
Do you hunt for them in the Mountain areas or more near the coast line? Just curious because we have hunted Chanterelles also in Latvia (eastern europe) and we hunt them a few miles off the Baltic coast line.
@msrussky777 Here around the San Francisco bay area they grow in the inland hills especially under live oaks. However farther north they grow under douglas fir. They seem to be two distinct varieties, as the ones up north are small but the ones here can weigh a pound apiece. In a good year I give lots of them away and can the ones we don't eat fresh. Cream of chanterelle soup is a favorite. ps. I've also lived in MN. Happy hunting!
Finding a well produced video of this type of "outdoor" activity is hard to find. For those that can't get out and actually find these treasures... THANK YOU
WOW, never seen anything like that! Hope to find a place like that myself some day! ;) Thanks for the vid from Sweden! :)
