Finally, we have chanterelles this year. Cibarius needs a lot of rain to just get started. My experience has been, it needs 2 inches or more. Tuesday we have 4 inches and that was the trick. Other mushrooms, like the usual summer suspects, Amanitas, Boletes and Russulas come up with much less rain.
A group of four of us were scouting a route for the Forest Service which will become a continuation of the Uwharrie Trail. The first thing I saw in the wood was a cibarius chanterelle. Over the course of the 4 hour hike, I was able to fill my basket. I was optimistic and had stashed a basket in my pack.
Our route tuned out to be nice. We found some interesting features and waypointed them on the gps track.
Ready for the frying pan
I believe this is a confusus mushroom.
Very similar to Old Man mushroom but with erect spikes on cap
