Chanterelle - I've only just started picking them. I'm hoping to get some proper quantities over the weekend. They grow very well here and it's possible (on the right site) to fill your car boot.

[sime42]

What you going to do with them all if you get that kind of quantity? Surely you can't eat that many in one sitting.

[peds]

Dry them, pickle them, ferment them, freeze them.

Or process them into soup, pasta sauce, or just fried in butter... then freeze in portions.

It's going to be a Mushroom Preservation Frenzy!

Dyer's mazegill beneath one dead mature scots pine and an apparently healthy one. Many of the pines have historically suffered from wildfire.

Just a follow up; The dead one, riddled with holes fell across the path, I wish I had taken a photo of the tree back then for context.

looks like Abortiporus biennis growing on the dead roots.

I found this at the base of an oak.

 

Any ideas on the ID?
