  • Any common names? chanterelle

  • @movieofmenywatch I collected a fairly large number of chanterelles on this particular outing; however they didn't make this video because they are usually pretty common... I probably should have included them.

    Common names

    Macrolepiota procera is often called the Parasol.

    Lactarius hygrophoroides, Laccaria ochropurpurea, and Hygrophorus russula do not have common names that I'm aware of.

    Craterellus cornucopioides are also known by Black Trumpets and Horn of Plenty... among others.

  • They do have white spores with spiny ornamentation under magnification.

    I collect them for dehydrating, not one of the choice edibles in my opinion, but they are worthy of the basket if you like to keep a variety of dried fungi on hand for cooking in the depths of the dark depressing days of winter..... Happy autumn haahaa

  • i used to think they are gross, but once i took them. i think everything about them is beautiful.

  • @EliteAmericans hey i live in kansas you should give me tips on edible shrooms

  • @georgem21275 The second ones are chanterelles.

    

  • I occaisionally shroom hunt in north east kansas and some of missouri. You just won a subscriber, good sir.

  • Do all mushrooms taste similar? Im not a huge fan of the mushrooms I can get at the market, but I like the idea of mushroom hunting! And it would be nice if I could get some very different tastes.

  • I have also tried Lactarius hygrophoroides and Laccaria ochropurpurea. I thought that the Lactarius h. was kinda nutty with a great crisp texture. The Laccaria ochropurpurea also held up well to cooking, but was nothing eventful. I do recall that the stems on the mature Laccaria o. were very fibrous and only good for stock. I am very interested to know what you thought?

  • ever find shrooms
