- Smooth chanterelles and Cinnabar chanterelles from old growth forests. The smooth chanterelles started fruiting in mid July and continue into fall. In this video I forage and cook smooth chanterelles.
Aesthetically beautifully and soothing, bravo! I found a crazy giant chanterelle recently, as seen in my latest video about blind taste testing giant polypores, and a viewer made me aware of the "rose-comb mutation" in chanterelles of which this mushroom was very likely the result of. I'd not heard of it before, but it's an interesting phenomenon, seemed like something that would interest you. Great to see another video. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you. Appreciated. Smooth chanterelles look like a hypomycetized golden chanterelle to me. Just that thin skin coating of powdery color and overall effect somehow comparable to a lobster mushroom. Rose comb can be extremely beautiful. I still eat the giant ones (if they have no bugs). I was taught it comes from a disturbance in the early growth stage. Kind of like if you top a plant in the garden and it turns from a single tall stem to wide bushy branches. If the chanterelle primordia gets broken, stomped, extreme weather, or it is deep and has material blocking the growth flow. These conditions may cause the adaptation. Though it may be caused by multiple factors. I will be tuning in to your intriguing taste test !
@@SporeTownNews Yeh, I guess I could see that, the paler color and shape of the smooth chanterelle compared to the golden. The giant one definitely looked more like a golden with pronounced ridges on fertile surface and deep yellow orange color. I had no idea what to make of it as I've never found one a quarter as big and have been collecting chanterelles in this area off and on for more than 20 years. That is interesting info regarding the mutation. It was definitely growing in a strange place deep down in a tight ravine with lots of material to get through and not much light. Plant pruning analogy makes sense. Thanks for the response!
@@MushroomJourneys-et9gk yes I saw the giant chanty you found... actually it might just be frilly and pretty :) I've been finding buried giants. Crazy chanterelles this year. Good luck :)
@@SporeTownNews Yeh, upon further review, I think it was just an unmutated giant golden chanterelle...one stem and one cap that was extraordinarily folded and frilly. Perhaps growing at the bottom of a tight little ravine provided extra nutrients and water accelerating its growth, or maybe it knew it would have to grow big to reproduce from way down there, ha.
Cool! What a special find! I guess you won't forget to check chanty ravine next season :) Maybe it's a special mushroom zone in general.
