Chanterelles

    I've been keeping an eye out for chanterelles ever since Jim Fowler posted the photos of his delectible haul: www.flickr.com/photos/22032600@N04/7742131766/in/photostream
    So far I've only found them in photographic (rather than gastronomic) quantities, such as this specimen and its lilliputian clone. It's a Red Chanterelle (Cantherellus cinnabarinus) I reckon, and Sally pointed it out to me along Cedar Rock Trail at Stone Mountain SP, NC.

      Thanks for the "plug". This is not quite a meal, but it is a good start... ;-))

      Why did the mushrooms get invited to the party?

      Because they're real fungis!

      Wow! That's a chanterelle? It's gorgeous (& nicely photographed, too!)! I've had one morel in my backyard. Quite the surprise!

      I think that the more commonly eaten chanterelles are larger and yellowish. See the link to Jim Fowler's page for photos in the kitchen. Oooh, nice morel ...maybe next year will be the big year?:-)
