Can't get much better then that, We managed to pick quite a few when we were out looking for shooters. :drool:
The only way it gets better is if you kill the steak. I'll be eating grouse and chanterelle's tonight.

How'd you like those chanterelle's? I make a mean mushroom burger with them.Sauted them with some shrimp and onions. Put them on some steaks. Superb! Gonna look for some more when I go camping this weekend.

Keep an eye out for the Porcinis! We found a bunch last week. You think trellies are good, you havent lived till ya had Porcinis!
Never picked those before. Seen a bunch of them from time to time. I only have picked what I am 100% sure of. That's Chantrelles and Morels. May have to add these to the list. Are there any other shrooms that look close to these porcinis and are poisonous? I've got a book on shrooms at home I have to look at now...

When they get bigger they turn more red on top and yellow sponge underneath.
A number 1 grade will usaually have a smaller cap in diameter than the bulb. But can vary.
Cut them thicker, like .25" thick, cook down all water and then lightly brown. So good you gotta lay down to eat em! :tup:

I have a pic of that cow.. When it was newly hit. You can only hunt elk by special permit out there right?

Porcini's are small King Boletes. They have a sponge for gills. Only thing you can mistake them for is another Bolete. The have a huge bulb at the base of the stem. Top is tan/yellowish/whiteish.
When they get bigger they turn more red on top and yellow sponge underneath.
A number 1 grade will usaually have a smaller cap in diameter than the bulb. But can vary.

Was a good looking cow. Hopefully she didn't go to waste. Smossysgirl; I dont know much about that unit except Hancock has land in that unit. You have to buy a pass but I belive you can shoot deer bear and elk, unlike the kowpowsin where you need to be drawn to hunt elk.yeo we saw it and pulled over she was still bleeding and my buddy let smossysgirl get a pic too lol. what a waste she was a porker :bash:

They seem real early to me. I had to pick through a ton of moldy ones the other night too, which surprised me

well looks like i will have to get out this weekend and go get some, hey do any of you clowns dehydrate your mushrooms or just vacuum pack them, what is the best way for long term storage of the fine fung-I? i dont much care for them but i do like to cut them and give them away :tup:
There are benefits to dehydrating and to freezing. Dehydrating often increases the flavor of the mushroom. I've been told that the flavor is increased by a fungi which occurs naturally and floats around in the air. It attaches to the drying mushrooms and increases flavor. When you reconstitute them, you get that bolder flavor. This is especially true of morels, porcini, and lobster mushrooms. Try reconstituting dried mushrooms in cream or whole milk. Then use the liquid to make whatever sauce you need for your dish.
For freezing, if you sauté the mushrooms first (like you were going to eat them right then), you get the best results, as the cell damage is completed by the cooking process and freezing will then have little or no effect on them. When fresh mushrooms are frozen, they tend to be spongy when you thaw them out. Some who freeze them raw, cook them right from frozen with good results. I like to sauté them first because it's like a pre-cooked side dish. Throw the vacuum bag in boiling water and it's ready in a couple of minutes. This works great with almost any mushroom, including the shelf fungi like chicken of the woods. You can also make the sauce ahead of time and freeze it and the mushrooms together.
