ID Request. Smooth Chanterelles of Australia * 1
    #28645876 - 02/04/24 12:29 AM (3 months, 11 days ago)

Hey guys, wondering if these are an edible species? I thought they looked like Cantharellus.

Found in far North Queensland, Australia, in rainforest growing from decaying wood and leaf litter.

It’s summer here and it’s been very hot, 26C lows and 32C highs, very humid, lots and lots of rain.

These mushrooms have no gills, just a smooth salmon coloured underside.

They smell quite strongly, and the smell could be described as floral, perfumey, not unlike oyster mushrooms but maybe slightly stronger.

They bruise orange slowly after handling.

The mushrooms are more of a bright orange in real life.

Sorry I have no in situ photos, I didn’t have my phone on me when I went hiking.

After some more research it looks to me like they might be a smooth chanterelle.

Indeed. Nice find. What tree were they associated with? Are chanterelles introduced to Australia?

They were growing amongst Australian native trees as far as I know. Sorry but I’m not sure of the exact type. I might go back for more.

I have no idea about the origins of this mushroom in Australia. I do know that we have quite a few different species of chanterelles and some are unique to Australia I think. There is a smooth chanterelle that looks like what I have which is commonly found around my area. From what I’ve read people commonly eat these.

Thanks for the input! I’m pretty keen to taste them but I might wait till a TI chimes in

I’d love to hear what other people think who pick these, because I’m still a little sketched out about eating them. I want to eat them though, they smell nice and would be quite a meal

Never hears of C. lutescens or C. lateritius in AU. Its an east coast USA apecies, i love them and they are great to eat. But weird, they look like they're probably either a new species of smooth chanterelle in Australia or somehow migrated from the east coast. You should send it in for DNA barcoding, but yes, they are good edibles

Fuck yeah! Thanks Moria! :smile:

People have apparently been eating these for years up here. I read about it here:
https://selbymushrooms.com/fnq-native-chanterelle/

Do I just dry one out to send it for sequencing? Are there places in Australia who will sequence it for me or do I send it overseas? Are there any problems with sending mushrooms overseas?

Thanks

I’ll Google search to see if there are any people doing DNA barcoding near me.

Is it wise to only ingest a small amount the first time eating these? I know people eat them here according to the website linked above, but is it still a good idea to be cautious?

Some Queensland Chanterelle species that I’ve learned exist are Cantharellus viscosus and Cantharellus concinnus. Both seem to look similar to what I have found.

Cantharellus ochraceoravus is likely.

I ate four of these last night and they tasted great. They’re rather chewy, but still a nice texture. Comparable to oyster mushrooms in texture and flavour I think.
