      Nom nom nom, this is suppilonvahvero (Cantharellus tubaeformis). Abundant in the late autumntime if the year has been right, and we are free to go collect muchrooms in the forests without a specific permission of the landowner.

      We used to have a border terrier that would find them for us, she got all excited about participating and helping us out.

      When you go picking, especially late in autumn when these are available, you need some time to tune your optic shroomieinstruments to distinguish them among the dry leaves. Then you might notice they're absolutely everywhere, when only 5 minutes earlier you didn't see any. There are some places (which i will not reveal, of course ;) where you'd find so much of these that picking isn't fun anymore, it becomes labour.

      Fry onion on a pan, in proper butter. Add real cream, salt and cut shrooms. Serve with boiled potatoes. Nothing else needed.

      A creamy soup is great, but of course the mushrooms are better not boiled for very long, since they become slimy. Fantastic add in a meatloaf too.
