August 11, 2024 Ghost Chanterelles and Black Trumpets at SAFF

Eastern Black Trumpets, Craterellus fallax, found at the bottom of slope at the waterway in between two hickory trees.

There are so many mushrooms right now after the heavy rain and cooler temperatures. We have Russulas and lactarius mushrooms to identify all over. Hundreds of red Russulas. Not as many boletes or Amanita right now. We found another patch of Eastern Black Trumpets to our delight and surprise as well as these beautiful and delicious ghost chanterelles.

Ghost chanterelle, Cantharellus phasmatis, found along Chanterelle Trail.

We brought them home and cooked them up and everyone was pleased.
