More Chanterelle Hunting Pics

Stu "Potato River" and I recently went on shroom-n-hog hunting trip in Sonoma County.  We hoped we'd find hogs to arrow, but only found chanterelles.  I made a tasty rissotto with the shrooms.

Pic 1 = Stu with the biggest chanterelle I've ever seen.
Pic 2 = A small motherlode of shrooms I came across
Pic 3 = Sliced chanterelles being dehydrated to intensify flavors

 

Is this where Stu got the poison oak hickey from?   

Mushrooms , YUMMY!!!!

poison oak is still active in winter,,,,,all the leaves fall off and the long skinny wooded branches remain. Still loaded with itchy oil =  hard to identify other than long wooded braches= 

i've never eaten those, but i do love me sum shrooms!! = yummy!

Adam,
You're right about the oak.  I found out the hard way!

Harold,
Always a pleasure to give you a chuckle at my expense   

WOW I am SO jealous, I have been walking for shrooms all spring and have only found chanterelles one time!  a couple of tiny boletes this year but disappointing overall.  care to share your shroom hunting tips?  the hogs have been trouble as well, but I think thats cause I keep hunting near Sac

I have been lucky enough to find 3 sheds this year, but only one is freesh

Harold,
Always a pleasure to give you a chuckle at my expense   

Just returning the favor...

Nice work you guys.  Keep in touch Chuck.  Lots of good stuff coming soon.

Chuck and Stuart....thanks for sharing...literally! They were way tasty.

Those cooked Chanterelle musrooms look yummy    Thanks for the pictures Chuck.

Good job fellas!  A load of chantrelles is a great backup harvest.  I was up there a couple times but never found the chantrelles... maybe timing was off.  Nice haul.

Sweet haul there boyz. I went out yesterday and snooped around in Marin for nada... Good to see they're still around. It's been a banner year for all shrooms.

Oh man, nice find!

Chuck, I finally got my license(s), dusted-off my AM32 and GTO, and tried to get my form back over the weekend. I guess I need to shoot more but I am ready... hunt or fish!

So how far away were you and what kind of arrow tip did you use when you shot those Chantrelles???
