I'm one of those who dries Cantharellus and, yes, they are delicious! I had read in books that they didn't taste good when dried, but I tried anyway and didn't regret it!!

Our local beauty spot in Whitworth, Lancashire was awash with fungi yesterday.  We often see a few examples each autumn, but they were everywhere ...

Many thanks Olga (and for your lovely images).
I'm afraid our local beauty spot is also a dog-walker's paradise ... I wouldn't risk touching, let alone eating, any of those!   :D :-X

Just catching up - great shots Olga and Cliff! Olga: I've never seen so many good Lactarius deliciosus before! Here's my Chantarelles being dried in the oven (40C with the door slightly open). I dry because it's the easiest way!!

Picked what seems like a lifetime supply of Winter Chanterelles today. Enormous quantities of this in the Norway Spruce woods at the moment. I almost couldn't get them all on my bike!

Cliff, oh!  :-\ I was wrong.

Stephen, I can say I've never seen so many Chantarelles before.  :) And I've never seen and eaten black Chantarelles.
What do you cook with dried fungi?

The weather was perfect yesterday. Sunny and warm.
I found Leccinum percandidum.

Stropharia aeruginosa. It's edible but I beware of eating it.

Nice Incredible pictures, Olga! According to Fungi Nordica this species is now considered to be an albino form of Leccinum versipelle. It is occassionally found in my area, but I've never seen it.
