 Hedgehog Heaven Pt. 2

Recap:
three weeks ago we went to our hedgehog grounds and came back with these...and that's all.  Very disappointing
This was the total "bounty" plus an admirable bolete
Today we just got back from three hours in the rainy woods, got partially soaked through but the temps were very mild so it wasn't so bad. Here's what we came home with tonight:
Did I mention we made two stops on the way home to drop off fresh hedgehogs for our friends and family?  That's right, this is only one half to one third of what we really took out of the woods 
The obligatory hedgehogs in the kreel pics:
We also always find a lot of yellow foot chanterelles (cantharellus tubaeformis) near our hedgehogs. Anyone have any recommendations on the yellow foot? Is it really edible or just sub-par? Just curious.
Hope everyone is having fun hunting!!

The white man can never win another war on the ground. His days of war, victory, his reign -- his days of ground victory are over. Can I prove it? Yes. Take all the action that's going on this earth right now that he's involved in -- tell me where he's winning. Nowhere.
Why some rice farmers -- some rice eaters ran him out of Korea. Yes, they ran him out of Korea. Rice eaters with nothing but gym shoes, and a rifle, and a bowl of rice took him and his tanks and his napalm, and all that other action he's supposed to have and ran him across the Yalu. Why? 'Cause the day that he can win on the ground has passed.

At the rate we're going there won't be a need to can! Just had some sauted on toast...now we're working on the risoto. Tomorrow will be mushroom pizza. What is actually involved in canning? I've never done it before. Are you talking about pc'ing?

You basically put the mushrooms in jars with salt water and pressure cook them. I've never done it myself, but i have had canned mushrooms and they were good. It works better for some species than other, and i have heard Hedgehogs preserve really well that way.

canning, including pickling and brining [as in other produce and meaats] just a method of preservation [in the case of pickling and brining sometimes with a twist, e.g. adding herbs/spices]. canned mushrooms will tend to be rather watery and will already be cooked, so care wil have to be taken in preparing them to preserve the desired texture for the dish you plan to make. this will also vary from species to species. it just opens up a different approach to cooking with mushrooms in addition to keeping them around longer. just s dried mushrooms will often have different applications than fresh and canned tomatoes would be used differently than whole ones [wouldn' be great in salad for example  ] you will want to use them in ways that accent thier new form.
braniac:
Cantharellus spp. = the chantarelle, Hydnum [often Dentinum] repandum = the hedgehog mushroom.
