Mushroom season has started in Finland! Well, technically it started a while back, but I refuse to eat Gyromitra, so I just picked them for other people. A couple of weeks ago, we got our first golden chanterelles and more just keep popping up because we've had a good mixture of rain and warmer weather.  And our first boletes also popped up!  We're not the most expert mushroom foragers, but we get by with chanterelles (black and golden), yellowfoot and boletes. I tried looking for morels to extend the season, but no luck, I only found loving Gyromitra  We also grow tree oysters in spent coffee grounds.I'm planning to give Woolly Milkcaps a go this autumn, because they're really easy to identify, plentiful and apparently keep very well when salted.

Just chiming in that removing the slimy covering of a butter bolete.

Dik Hz posted:What mushrooms do y'all hunt in the winter months? My neighbor's dead tulip poplar puts out a ton of veiled oysters around Christmas, but I don't know what else to look for in the Southeast US before morel season. Do yellowfeet (Craterellus tubaeformis) grow there? It's what I pick in the finnish winter months since it doesn't mind freezing.

MEIN RAVEN posted:I loving love these types of chantarelles. They pop up through most of the winter in Washington and keep me going outside long after fall chant season has passed. They make amazing pate... Yellowfeet are good eating, have a batch in the drier as I write. The finnish mushroom season has beenvery strange because of the bone dry summer we had. The golden chanterelles that popped up very late in the season were nice and firm, but we found practically no boletes. On the plus side, we did find our first batch of Craterellus cornucopioides (loving impossible to spot even if you know a place) and an area with tens and tens of pounds of Albatrellus ovinus. Also decided to spread out into Russulas, since they're a pretty easy genus to identify and should all be safe around here.

Boiling in milk is (apparently) a French method for them.
