Fungi Friday - Oysters and Chantrelles

avatar
(Edited)

I went mushroom hunting this week and found a few interesting mushrooms for this #fungifriday by @ewkaw the picture above is some kind of gall but it tricked me into thinking it was a mushroom.

This is some kind of brittlegill covered in gnats.

This appears to be a type of amanita, but it could be something else. White mushrooms in the grass are tough to id.

These are a couple tiny parasol mushrooms.

Later I found some oysters on a tree that was cut down.

Here's a bigger batch of the oysters.

Take note of how the gills run down the stem.

Later I found some chantrelles.

These were just starting to grow from a rain earlier in the week.

I also found this little toad and i let him inspect the shrooms.

Now for the cleaning process, these shrooms had alot of dirt on them.

I had to wash them multiple times.

Now that they are clean I can start making the pizza.

This is some kind of gluten free dough mix so its kind of difficult to work with.

I like to layer the shrooms between the cheese so they don't get dried out.

Then i like to let the cheese get crispy on top. That's it for #fungifriday

I swear I have found chanterelles before and thought they were toadstools.

The gills on chantrelles look like veins. Toadstools have symmetrical gills that don't attach to the stem. The main poisonous lookalike for chantrelles are jackolantern mushrooms since they are yellow but their gills are symmetrical as well. Now is the season when they come out especially a day or two after a good rain.

That tip about gills attaching to the stem helps as does knowing the season.

I have a field guide to the mushrooms of Ontario and Eastern Canada and it put me off when the second paragraph in the edibles section was about mushroom poisoning. Still, it's good info to know that if your first symptoms appear 4-24 hours after ingestion, you ate a really bad one and GET HELP. Earlier than that, you may vomit, you may have cramps, but you will be okay. Not my preferred way to figure things out, of course. lol
