I was able to get out over the weekend and snagged some monster smooth chanterelles, a decent handful of gorgeous cinnabar chanterelles and some bonus Strobilomyces.

It's incredible to me how orange they are over there. Here they are more a cheese like yellow.

    My first time finding these absolute beauties. I'm not sure if they're Cantharellus corallinus or Cantharellus cinnabarinus.

    I think what we find mostly is Cantharellus flavolateritius.

    Wow. Did you adjust the saturation in that photo, or do they actually look that vibrant?!

    I've never seen those black ones. Where are you from?

    I'm in Pennsylvania, USA. They're Strobilomyces strobilaceous, an edible black bolete known as old-man-of-the-woods.

    those shits are why people don't pick mushrooms: "oh yeah this thing that looks like death incarnate? perfectly edible. Noononononono don't touch the one that looks like a champignon it'll erase you from the fabric of the universe!"

    Our friend gave us a shoebox full of these. Never had them before that, man did we become converted to the chanterelle religion.

    Those boletes look very interesting, I never see any with that coloration around me. Do you know what species of Strobilomyces they are?
