2021 SHROOMS!
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
Ran out to grab it.
Anyways, it's heavy and big, plus there are seven separate layers. The second largest one weights 295g and it's 11" wide x 8" in length.
A tad bit more info: Found at a place where I cut down dead trees and cut up some deadfall last autumn, and the tree that it came off of is now dead, which I believe is an Elm.

According to the article attached below, eatable is not recommended when they are beyond a couple of weeks old, and/or this big. So, I suppose I'll just tosh it. Appreciate your help, thanks!
Pheasant Back (Dryad's Saddle) - Stowe Forager
The Pheasant Back mushroom Cerioporus squamosus, also known as Dryad’s Saddle begins to appear in Vermont and New England forests around the month of May. Thus making it one of the first things to forage for in the northeast. Although this mushroom is by no means a culinary all-star, it does...

Yeah, that's what article mentioned as a time frame. These that I picked though are not hard to the touch and appear to be spongy and soft, especially the further away for the root of each of them.
Anyways, I left it for the wife. Apparently, she's apart of some sort of FB shroom group and I didn't know that until just a few moments ago. Funny how I continue to learn things about my better half still these days, even after being together for decades
I've been jonesing for a fix as I have not had any fresh Chant's since last Sunday, after eating them nearly every day for a month. rained out at work today, so I went lookin'. did some findin'. happily off the wagon again for a week or so.

I'd categorize this Chanterelle season as "epic". and it's not over yet. you have got to get some of these. I'd trample Morels to get to a nice patch of Chanterelles.
the humidity was practically unbearable by noon. no air moving in the big woods today.

I don't think I eat anything as much as you do shrooms. You eat more mushrooms than I drink beer. Bravo
I have to admit, you make me want to try these things. And judging by post, you're encouraging others to do the same. So hats off! I can offer you an ice could busch light in return
know this: gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. alcoholism is not.
if you want some fresh Chanterelles, time is running out. I think the latest I've found really good ones is around August 20. I've seen some past their prime in September, though. I imagine with enough wet weather, these could be had into October. I stop looking at the ground when I'm in the woods by the middle of October, though.
