Yesterday saw the season's first mushroom expedition. A bit early for real diversity, with only four edible species collected, but on the other hand we found quite a lot of chanterelles.
- Chanterelle, Kantarell, Cantharellus cibarius
- Birch bolete, Björksopp, Leccinum scabrum
- Orange Birch Bolete, Tegelsopp, Leccinum versepelle
- Red russula, Tegelkremla, Russula decolorans
As a Swedish journalist once wrote, paraphrasing the Scarlet Pimpernel:
They find him here
They find him there
They say they find him everywhere
Is he in Heaven or is he in Hell?
That damned elusive Chanterelle

It's been raining here. A lot.
How about a gallery of the four species? If "real" chanterelles are the ones in the background, then I just had my first ones a few days ago. Delicious when fried in the pan with allspice (pimenta dioica), salt and butter.
No Psilocybe cubensis?! How un-fun!
Yeah, it was really hard to see any shrooms for all the hemp and poppy growing everywhere in dense lush stands.
