PREDATE Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 110 pounds? Fu*k that! That's hours of cleaning. 8-10 pounds in a day is enough for me.One trick with chants is to cut the stipe rather than pull from the ground. Also blow off any debris/dirt before it goes in the sack otherwise you're gonna have a bag full of dirty mushrooms.I've been picking chants for over a month and I'm done with them. Moved on to boletes, chickens, oysters, etc.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyice Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I did the sautéed lightly vacuum and froze, dehydrated some for soups. My friends got 110 lbs today. Might go out tomorrow. Local business paying $15-$20 a pound.That’s some nice coin ,...anybody else selling their finds? I assume you line up a buyer first?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 I've never sold my finds, I like mushrooms too much.I take it the buyer assumes all liability for accidental poisonings. Aside from that, some people have different sensitivities to certain wild mushrooms.A can or worms I'm not interested in opening for the sake of a few bucks.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Nice mixed bag from a Tuesday evening. Lobsters, chants, chicken, oysters and coral. Chants were everywhere but I only stopped to pick a few. Found some huge Jack-O-lanterns and a great northern tooth as well.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve863 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I tell you guys what. You guys have a hell of lot more courage than I would have to consume these mushrooms you pluck out of the wild!! One mistake in identifying these things and you can start foaming at the mouth and going into convulsions if not something worse!! NO thanks. I am not the biggest mushroom fan to begin with, but I will stick to the store bought kind when I do decide to eat some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Naturally, for me it's about the hunt. The fungi is just a bonus.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREDATE Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Was out til 11 last night picking Lobster mushrooms by flashlight. So yummy and so worth it.Snagged a puffball after work today while I was checking on one of my stands.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpkot Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Went to letchworth today to find 4 seasons tree stand.... no luck but I came across this mushroom that made me giggle because I have a 14 year old sense of humor. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 What do I have Here guys? Anything yummy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 That coral is a species of Ramaria, tastes pretty good sauteed.The last pic looks like King Bolete(Porcini) which are very good.As always, please be 100% sure before consuming. Any time you eat a new type of fungi, only eat a few bites at first and wait to be sure you won't have adverse reactions.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 So these should be ok then right? I’m gonna clean and Blanche them tonight and give them a try tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 No blanching necessary IMO. Both of these do very well straight into the pan.I like to peel the Ramaria into smaller clusters before cooking. They have a nice taste. The thin ends get slightly crispy while the base stays more meaty. The Boletes do very well with any type of cooking & the flavors are enhanced when dehydrated. Of course it's tough to beat the nutty flavor when sauteed in butterSent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Porcini mushrooms are nicknamed the PennyBun. Notice how their cap looks like a hamburger bun.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Well crap. Blanched them already. I’m gonna slice them and dry them. If they are good I’ll go pick more and just dry them and freeze them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
