Will do. I am definitely hitting up some oak woods in the next couple days, your gigantic chants have inspired me.

I made another trip out to my local hunting grounds today looking for Chanterelle.  Things are looking nice.  :cool:




   




I also found some Ganoderma lucidum (reishi), it is not common at all around here.  This one was 8 inches tall!!

   



Some very fresh Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)







And some neat "False" Turkey Tail (Stereum hirsutum) Growing from a stick.






I found a few nice clusters of Hericium coralloides too.  I love eating this stuff.  What a great texture and flavor...





 




Lots of the edible Grisette (Amanita constricta) to be found too.





A pretty little Psathyrella I snapped a photo of.





An especially attractive fruiting of Phyllotopsis nidulans.





Some cool coral fungus too - (Clavulinopsis fusiformis)





All said, it was a great day.  It rained a bit, but I came prepared with my water-proof hunting gear.  School starts up again tomorrow, so I really needed to get out there before things get busy again.  Happy New Year everyone!

Nice finds Luhn!  Wow, your chants are looking tasty.  I have yet to find a spot with so many.

I spent a whole day last week in the oaks looking for chants, let's just say I could gladly live the rest of my life without seeing another Lactarius alnicola. :lol:

You didn't find any? That's too bad. You probably walked right past  a dozen or more. At least around here, rarely are they actually visible. I just walk around areas where I have found them in years past and look for lumps in the leaves.

Chanterelle have an indeterminate growth cycle, and will continue to grow as long as conditions are suitable. Because of this, I find that scouting new territory is better done in mid-February or even early March if the rains continue. At this point they have gotten so big that they can't hide anymore.  Then next year you can return to the same area much earlier and poke the leaf-lumps in your now-known patch.  Because poking every lump in the woods is time-consuming and rarely successful.

Better luck next hunt!

Edit:  Speaking specifically about the Cantharellus californicus species.  Other Chanterelle species do not behave in this fashion as far as I know.

nice finds lhun. I found some hercium as well the other day, really good eating. I think that ganoderma you found is unique to california and Ive been meaning to send Mrcloudy a sample i found for microscopy. I've been looking for them recently, but forgot about them after I only found old decaying ones. I figured they were late summer here just like everywhere else. sometimes it seems like our season starts much later than everyone else's for a lot of species, so I was hoping to get lucky. Now ill definitely be on the lookout, really want to make some tea. btw, was it growing at the base of a bay tree or an old log/stump?

It was in the hollow of a fallen oak tree, growing up in deep leaf-litter.  I think the deep layer of leaves is why the stem got so long.  Are they more common in your area?  It is the only one I have found around here and I hunt my area pretty good each year.  You are in Sonoma right BurtonRebel?

Napa California, and sure.  Although I have dried it already, but I assume that is not a problem.

Interesting, Thank you. And nope shouldn't be a problem, Ganoderma tend to be more uniform when they are dry so dried specimens are easier to compare. The moisture content in fresh ones is variable and can alter the appearance. :thumbup:

Typically G.lucidum is absent from North America. It seems to be present in the area surrounding Salt Lake City Utah as an apparent introduction. There is a second possible occurrence in Northern California.  This one is curious to me as I have a sequence only from a single sample and although close, it is not a perfect match to G.lucidum.

I think it might be an indigenous subspecies or variety. But :shrug: I have several other samples but haven't gotten the DNA results yet.

cool! Thats similar to the habitat i found mine in and I'm in the east bay lhun. Crazy long stem. I have only found 2 and they were in the same general location. I found some really old G. oregonense which is way more common I think.

Super awesome finds Lhun... Very excited to find chanterelles in our back yard in Napa instead of driving hours away.  This is my first year to find them here.  I must say the ease which the rest of you find such quantity is ridiculous! Been an amazing year for Hericium too.

On reishi, I did find a handful 5-6 this year in the area.  Never looked for them before, didn't think anything of it, and I only picked one out of interest.  Funny I find these more odd species over the seemingly gregarious chanties!

I see, Australia.


Compare your red ones to Ganoderma weberianum and your brown one to Ganoderma australe. You should be able to do a prick test on the red ones, stab the white with a sharp implement and see if it bleeds a yellow resin. If it doesn't then compare them to G.steryaertanum.
