so me and the mrs went out picking today, we spent a few hours in the woods driving along paths and looking for the color yellow, using a car to find mushrooms, what a time saver.
then we took our backseat heap to tempest (an expensive resturant) and the chef told us we were two hours late and he just bought 10 lbs from some guy for $6.50 lb
we were all "you ripped him off!" and he smiled and said hed rather call it "getting a good price"
so we came to my parents house and the mrs called up a bunch of chefs she knows, The head chef of chives bought 7 lbs. and we can sell the rest to Bachus. we charge about $7 but could go $10 lb
of course were keeping a few for food i had a nice marinated steak and chanterelles the other day. along with a side of sauteed puffball.
i also picked a few heaps of coral fungus, some porcinis, and a heap of pan subbs.
Cantharellus cibarius, the common chanterelle a carload
a big one
above, held by the mrs
also, another type of chanterelle, resembling the winter variety, but yellow like the common type. Cantharellus minor the small chanterelle
these taste pretty good coocked ya know

I'm pretty sure that those are the same type of mushrooms that my sister has growing behind her house. There are tons of them underneath two pecan trees. I knew that they were chanterelles, but not exactly which species. If I find some more this weekend I'll try to get pics and post them.
If they are the good ones I'll have to get a few recipes from someone. No one I know eats wild mushrooms.

FINALLY got my computer back, had some funky bug. well i sold most of the chanterelles for $200 the first returant told us we were 2 hours too late. the next three resturants in the city pretty much fought over them we ended up selling 18 lbs to the halifax casino and 5 lbs to chives were keeping the rest, which im eating right now

Wow! I saw TONS of these where I live about a month ago. I wish I knew they were so good and valuble!! But I have a few questions: Why are they good to eat? Why will restaurants pay so much for them?
Thanks

they are good to eat because they taste like filet mignoin juice sauteed in a tight vagina. (with a hint of mushrooms) they also add flavour to dishes and are very versitile cullinarily. they are expensive because they do not grow under artificial conditions and require a mushroom hunter with knowlage of locations of growth substantial enough to supply a resteraunt. who must also know of the value and be reliable. now portabellos are cultavatable, but arent exactly cheap, chanterelles are pretty uncommon, only fruiting in the summer, other speceis of course fruit other times. morels sell well but grow only in the spring boletes sell well but take a little more experience to ID, most resteraunts only want the porcini or cep (b. Edulis)

jesus, 7-10$ a pound? man, in my area they run for like 15-20 and sometimes higher (most times they're like 23 a lbs), it was on either fine living or tlc. It was called "opening soon" pretty cool looking place.

when you sell them to a restaurant, are you supposed to clean them first, or let them do that?

you don't have to, it would be nice, but that's why you have prep cooks.

i cut off the bases and brush out the gills, i figure i might as well clean them, they look more appealing to the clientel that way. the mrs is an executive chef, the owner of chives (darrin) is a good friend of hers, we gave him a good deal (7/lb) the casino was where she used to work and theyve always bullied her and underminded her carrer, they also burried all the complaints of conduct and harrassment, (straigt from the top) they dont comply to canadian laws or local bylaws and basically have the city and our municipal and federal government by the balls, they get no deals, they are the pit of corruption born from halifax selling its collective soul to satan (park place entertainment- an internartional american casino producer) somehow if halifax imposes anti smoking legislation and hours of alcohol sales, it will "directly reduce the casinos revenue" and since the casino is under contract to fund city activities and projects, the city will lose money if the contract is breeched, and FURTHERMORE be expected to fully compensate all loses.
the casino makes tens of MILLIONS a day the losses could be enough to turn halifax into a run down slum town.
the american disease.
they certainly get no deals. i hope the building falls into the harbour. its built on concrete supports over water, i suppse someone in a canoe with a few well drilled holes and some TNT could take it out, they have 1000's of cameras, many outdoors but i dont know about the underside... its interesting how taking out the casino would also take out the american consulate building....... hmmm, coincedance?
i remember storming the consulate, most of the protesters (of the iraqui genocide (euphimized "shock and awe") diddnt know anything about the causes, but felt very strongly against the war (many were just sheep only there because it was something follow in a flock) there must have been as many guards, police, FBI (yes american feds on canadian soil) RCMP, CSIS, and stormtroopers there as protestors, it was like a black, armoured, heavily armed ring around the consulate. but that was nothing like the time bush was in town for the G8, there were storm troopers firing teargas into crouds of parents with 4-year olds unning around without shirts and babies in carriges. just to keep them back because some of them were playing drums and one threw a cup or something. if you actually bother to go to these gatherings, you can really see how civilians have absolutely no say, no control, there is no democracy, politicians are elected internally, no exceptions, and nothin internal it available to the public. you can have millions in the streets protesting, you can have entire countries, organizations, etc oppose the powers that be and time and time again they are ignored, now even the united nations is publicly obsolete, and the geneva convention is history, and old suggestion, nothing more. the american constitution as i understand it has been amended more times in favor of the government incresing control and removing civil liberties in the past year than like, ever in its history.
this is when americans are supposed to revolt, but luckily, TV has made them too afraid to with evrything from shark attacks to killer bees, terrorism, violent crime, lets not forget how dangerous those drug-crazed black shirtless men are that it always takes 5-6 cops to take down. (im using a hyperbolec irony here that just happens to be the main theme of so called "real-tv") divide the country into very poor and very rich and youll have the poor fearing indignation and perpetul poverty, and the rich tucked into suburbia clenching their handguns and NRA memberships, fearing the poor who are getting sick and desperate because they cant afford medical care. no time to care about real issues anymore, because the whole country is FULL of issues. in the "she got issues" sence. ohyes, and the country is bankrupt, what now? i expect a revolt very soon. im surprized the black out diddnt trigger it. see how quick they were to blame canada? doesnt anyone find it odd that canada and the states share a common power grid? do you think that was ever supposed to be known? well its hard to hide now. american water, food, gas, electricity, lumber, fish, where do you think most of that comes from? in the black out, even an american nuclear power plant went down. isnt that odd? a supposedly self-sufficient completely unrelated power "source" stopped functioning. well, if theyre not making power in those nuclear plants, just what are they making? a cooling unit is supposed to self-power to avoid overheating and meltdown.
i am getting SO fucking off topic. but yeah, i dont like selling chanterelles to the casino, i dont like anything about them, their practice, policies, politics, contracts, lies, country of origin, any of it. i dont like how they leech money from people addicted to gambling lifestyles, and i dont much care for the most of people who work there either
