Kind of a crap pic but can anyone tell what these little cap/umbrellas are?

[Oaktavia]

In the backyard, pretty wild looking. Anybody know what these are?

@Oaktavia They look like Coprinus quadrifidus

[Oaktavia]

@twin Ah thank you! My first thought when I saw them was ink cap. Hope you are enjoying your July 4th weekend.

What do you guys think these are?

Can’t remember if I’ve posted about this before but we get Chanterelles every year under our Pin Oaks. Apologies for the poor pic

[seawolf]

@SKT Hell yes! What do you like to make with them?

[SKT]

@seawolf honestly it’s been a tough sell to get my kids to eat them just sautéed so I’ve held off being more adventurous. If you have a good recipe let me know and I’ll try it out next time we have a bunch pop up

[seawolf]

@SKT recipes? No. But I’ve used them before for various things. One of my favorites was boudin blanc with a chanterelle cream sauce. I seared the sausage, put it into porcelain ramekins, spooned some of the mushrooms and sauce over the sausage, and blasted it in the oven until it was piping hot and golden brown.

@seawolf I’m hungry reading this. Will investigate and give it a try. Thanks!
