My first choice finds!

#3488846 - 12/13/04 01:16 AM (13 years, 6 months ago)

After a nice walk in the foresty hills near Lake Pillsbury, California I stumbled upon some chanterelles and a king bolete! The area was a fir thicket accompanied by some madrone and oak.

I apologize for shitty webcam pics. What's a good way to eat these? I like the chanterelle taste, and I don't typically like the taste of mushrooms. I think I just walk around down munching on the massive mushroom.

What's that first photo? It doesn't look like a chanterelle to me.

King bolete?!

I dont think king bolete's caps turn upwards during maturity though? I could be wrong.

Looks like that first one has gills too.

I agree that looks like it has gills, And dosnt look like chanterelle to me b/c from what ive seen in pics it has more of veins. If it has gills it is not bolet.

The second pic isn't a king bolete. It is a bolete, but not a king. The first pic... I just don't know anymore. It doesn't look like a chanterelle I'll admit, but that is a very shitty picture. The mushroom does taste good though, and I'm still alive and in high spirits. My stepdad, da fool, cooked and ate the whole fucking thing. He got a tummy ache of course. Other than him feeling sick, he's still alive.

Another note, I am smart when it comes to ingesting mushrooms. I usually have a foolish friend test them out before I do. Hah hah. This is very evil I know, but in the spirit of Darwin, survival of the fittest.

You and he are lucky!

If you told your step father that the mushroom you posted was a choice edible when you were unsure about its edibility, then you should be ashamed of yourself. :mad2:

Safety is foremost in the hunting forum. You're going to get bashed on this one.

If somebody ends up dead over your foolishness you could be charged with negligent homicide. You have no respect for mushrooms and it appears no respect for the life of others.

You should stop trying to be cool and delete your post.
