  1. I neglected to include their habitat. Both false and real Chantelles are exclusively found in urban ecosystems where cannabaceae indigenous is widely distributed.
  2. I usually just watch thegreatmorel.com sightings map. It looks like the unseasonably warm winter brought the ground temps high enough in the southern part of Indiana, but that shut down with the current temps over the last week. They'll probably be right on schedule in your area within the next couple of weeks. I live about two hours northwest of you, so I don't expect them for at least 2- 3 weeks. I do soil temperature testing on the south facing slopes of wooded areas, just an inch out two before the surface. When the average temp gets to be around 11°C-12°C (52°F-54°F) they usually make their appearance.
  3. Yeah, most of the activity is on fb. I'm not on fb either. I just hope that this site doesn't get abolished. It's fairly inactive and doesn't seem to draw as much interest as it used to.
  4. I usually bring my light weight climbing sticks and lineman's rope when I go for chaga and enoki. I love them both very much lol less than 5lbs in a backpack to get pretty high up.
  5. I have asked her to take a spore print
  6. A friend in Zimbabwe bought these at the market for $2 for 200g. They were labeled Chanterelles, but I'm suspicious because the caps are convexed, the ridges or gills are a different color than the stem and the look more like attached gills that do not descend down the stem like I know Chanterelle ridges do. And Zimbabwe is a financially depressed country, therefore men resort to all sorts of evils of deceit in desperation to try to make a buck, without any care or concern for their neighbors. Si there's that...😒 Any ideas about Chanterelles species known to grow in the Zimbabwe region that might verify these for sure,
  7. Hey xnme you're making some of us jelly over here lol You are blessed to have the time and the location to be able to get out often! That is way cool
  8. I saw a bunch of yummies in the uploads lol Aborted Entolomas And Velvet Foot Enokis are among my favorite choice fungi
  9. I'm fairly sure this is Lacrymaria velutina. My old field guide still has it listed as Psathyrella Velutina. I came across a bunch of tightly packed clusters of these, at work today. I didn't keep a specimen, but after looking into it, the microscopic characteristics of the spores are worth seeing. They're listed as "edible" and they had a mild nutty aroma. If I didn't have my hands full of Lion's mane and Velvet Foot Enokis, I probably would have harvested these,, because they were very hearty and looked as though they would hold their firmness for awhile. They were cool to observe.
