Found another motherload patch of yellowfoot...
    #14137627 - 03/17/11 04:27 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hello all.. so I don't know who may or may not recall, but about a month and a half ago I ended up coming across a spot that yielded about 3 grocery bags full of yellow foot (Craterellus tubaeformis). Well two days ago I was out on a hike with my buddy and we found an even bigger patch! It was intense. I didn't have a camera, so please excuse the cell phone pics.. but I thought I would share. I don't think the pics even do justice, I mean, these yellow foot lined this path for miles it seemed...

But the sad part is that about 95% of them were past their prime :frown:. I picked the few that looked edible, but even they were kind of sub par. I was about two weeks late on this one... on the bright side I did find a bunch of hedgehogs (Hydnum repandum) as well! Most of those were past their prime as well, but I got a good few worth bringing home :smile:. I was pleasantly surprised to see them still out and about!








Also I found this, which I suspect to be Pluteus sp., probably P. cervinus? Has a pinkish salmon colored spore print... growing straight out of some maple.




And I found this... I got to say I'm not too sure on this one. It looked like a small mushroom at first, but then proved to be extremely hard to pull out of the ground. In the end it had a stripe that shot over 6" into the ground or more. They grew by themselves and were fairly spread out...





Oh, and some really cool Matchstick lichen! :smile:



Happy mushrooming everyone, spring is just about here! :cheers:

Yeah, yellowfoots can be pretty abundant.  I've got a massive patch that fruits in the fall.  Flavorwise, I rank 'em up near the top!!

Late scrambled eggs with yellowfoot chants =:drooling:

Good stuff bud, its bitter sweet when you find a patch late like that.  On one hand; you know you can hit it next year - but you are now aware of what you let slip by this year.  :wowz:

Indeed I will be these spots much more! And thanks for the Phaeocollybia ID. :cheers: Looks like it is a hard genus to narrow down to species (macroscopically at least).

That's cool that you have a spot that fruits in the fall.. I wonder if my spots were fruiting in the fall... Man, it really is kinda crazy how fruitful yellowfoot flushes are, especially considering that, yeah I think they are almost as good as Chanterelles. They are great. What do you mean by "late" scrambled eggs?

Hey thanks Dub! :smile: Yeah, I love me some hedgehogs - though the texture has always been off for my liking. Tasty though. The hedgehogs are a bit more elusive, I have a feeling there were way more at this spot that I wasn't able to uncover..

Well, outside it still looks like crappy winter.. but, yes. The fruit of Spring is arriving! Is there still a lot of snow up where you are at?

Seriously! Like, I can't be mad that I just discovered a mother load patch of delicious edibles, but seeing all this food gone to waste really is a shame. But oh man... next year...  :uptosomething:

:cheers:

Late scramble=I fry the mushrooms in butter (salt, pepper, bit of sugar, spices) then start frying eggs right on top.  Right when the yolk starts to harden, I scramble everything up.  To me it's a consistency thing and I find that the flavors stand out more instead of being all mushed together. :cool:
