This is the first time we have found any so we are a little nervous about eating them :)
Found them in a dense moss pine forest, mostly together within 10 meters of each other. Also in the area were the toppig giftspindling.
We have inspected each one carefully, making sure we did not accidentally pick the toxic toppig giftspindling. They all look like the pictures here at sv.com, looking just like kantareller under the hat, only grayish brown.
Only 2 or 3 were slightly questionable. Two are a very light yellow color under the hat instead of grayish brown. One other was lacking an orange color on the foot, more light brown (included in a picture).
When we first started picking mushrooms we stuck with soppar only, just avoiding any red one’s. We felt pretty safe about that. This is a little different so we want to be absolutely positive.
Also, the smell is similar to kantareller but a little “sharper”? If that is the correct adjective to use. The smell is also mild, yes?
Thanks very much in advance for any help and input, it is greatly appreciated!
trattkantareller
Thank you both! :)
I just got done cleaning them. Again I inspected each and every one of them. I decided (for now anyway) that if each trattkantarell didn’t comply with 2 of 3 things, I would toss it. 1) orange colored stem/foot 2) kantarell looking under the hat 3) hollow stem/foot. I may be throwing out more than necessary, but until we are more educated on this type of mushroom I think it is a good “rule of thumb” for us to follow.
I noticed a white discoloration on some of them, they look like “imprints” where another trattkantareller was growing with it. I don’t want to mistake this for mildew, however. Is there any way to know the difference?
How do they smell to you? They smell a little like “regular” orange kantareller but more “earthy”. Is that a fair assesment?
And which way is best to preserve them? Drying or freezing?
I think I will go out and find a toppig giftspindling and disect it. I think its also a good idea to become familiar with what I DON’T want to eat ;)
Again, thanks everyone for your input. I find it priceless!! :)
Thanks!! :)
Thanks Buffy, that is important information. I will bump that up to the top of the “priority check” :)
I am curious about the white “imprints” I found on a few. I don’t want to mistake normal imprints for mildew. Are there any tips for this situation?
Also, do toppig giftspindling grow together in bunches, like trattkantareller sometimes do?
Wery nice funnel chantarrells, or yeloow feet as some call them. Newer wront to be careful!
I find their smell to be just earthy. When You get used to them they are a joy to pick. Thousands of them, everywhere:-)
Just a little tip, cut the end of the foot of directly in the woods, Your mushrooms will be a lot cleaner that way and easier to inspect.
Dryng is the best way to preserve them, if You don´t have a huge freezer.When dryed they keep for years and are easy to use, just pour hot water on them, wait för about ten minutes and use as fresch. Or crumbel them into sauses. Otherwise, just put them in a dry and hot pan and let the moisture cook in, then freese in plastic bags och small containers. Happy hunting!
