Chanterelle vs False Chanterelle

Hemp the dog and I set forth to discover the difference between the false and real Chanterelle. We take a few back to cook them into a supreme seasonal omelette. I am not a mycologist so please take care picking mushrooms for consumption and always consult and expert before trying anything.

whats the latin name of the false chantrelle?

[@JamieKunka]

So I think quite a lot of people eat them in Europe and South America. I do not know of any severe reactions taken to the false chanterelle apart from gastric upset. There have been some claims that they are halucinagenic but I believe that has now been disproven. My good friends ate quite a lot once by mistake and did not suffer any symptoms. However there is a comment somewhere for this video in which a KZbin user reports some strange symptoms after eating some. In many text books and so on they are just classed as inedible. Citing that they do not have a pleasant taste and nothing else. However the false chanterelle has high levels of a sugar alchohol that could cause some temporary gastric distress.

Found your video today while searching for information to confirm my identification of False Chanterelles that popped up in the backyard today. I see that you setup the tripod and camera to frame a Dyer's Polypore (Phaeolus schweinitzii?) in the foreground of the shot at 3:12. Nice touch, as additional species always add interest to fungal (as contrasted to viral 😆🤭) videos.

You sir have just earned yourself a new subscriber! Very lovely, thorough, and informative video. Thank you so much for sharing. I am learning about mushrooms that grow in Texas to hopefully be confident enough to be able to consume them one day once I am able to differentiate false ones. I appreciate the effort and detail you've put into making this video. Please continue to make more because I am definitely sticking around :D

[@JamieKunka]

Thanks! I'm glad your enjoying the videos. Do you know if you get Chanterelle in Texas?

[@catropractor]

@@JamieKunka I just started getting into mushrooms a few weeks ago when I spotted a bunch walking through my local forest and to get started I Googled edible mushrooms in Texas. The first and most common ones to pop up are Chanterelles, Morels, and Oysters. That's actually how I found your video!

[@JamieKunka]

@@catropractor that's awesome I'm glad you found the channel 😁 Id love to find a Morel but haven't seen any yet! Watch out for the false Morel, I think it's quite poisonous!

[@catropractor]

@@JamieKunka Yes me too! I read online they go for $30 a pound at Farmer's Markets! I would absolutely love it if you made more mushroom identification videos especially ones that show side by side comparisons of false and poisonous look alikes (I also don't mind if you just utilize pictures instead of finding the real life examples). I've noticed that this is a very specific niche on KZbin that's yet to be fulfilled and I believe you are a great candidate 👍

[@NomenNescio99]

@@vadaminot429 Quite a few years back I had trained one of my old German pointers to bark when he found chantarelles, he thought it was great fun and it was really useful and a big help for me to find chantarelles. However it made him totally useless as a hunting dog for forest birds such as wood grouse/capercaillie, luckily I don't have any of those on my hunting grounds, but it was a little embarrassing to explain the reason why I had to turn down invites from my friends to bring my dog and go hunting. He was still very useful in the farmlands on the field hunting for pheasants.

I always check the veins. To me, they are not false gills, which run straight and deep. The chanterelle veins bulge from the surface and branch out continuously. You have to be careful.

Nice one, man - good to know that the hundreds of fungi I found in a pine wood today were false chanterelle. I was suspicious so I left them and scoured KZbin for a decent ID video - that's for that.

[@mayamachine]

Excellent video, I forage these, I haven't seen them side by side...I do get tricked from a distance.

[@borisacat5068]

when I saw this excellent video I recalled saying to you in January that it would be hard to get a Chanterelle wrong. You were too polite to put me in my place. It seems the false ones are probably OK, so that's good. Great video on Ceps too. I presume you filmed it last year, as August would surely be very early. No sign of any here in Middle England.

[@JamieKunka]

I have heard recently that the false ones are thought of as edible but uninteresting or something along those lines! Filmed the ceps yesterday actually! Been finding a lot of them up hear at the moment actually. Literally tripping over them often!

[@borisacat5068]

@@JamieKunka Well I am surprised . When I saw your video I cycled through the local woods to look about but there is nothing happening here. You must get a very early start to the season up there. We get mainly Suillus luteus (Sticky Bun) of the cep group when they are out.

That's a good question! The false gills are quite subtle on some of the Chanterelles and on other chanterelles they look very veiny and nothing like gills. Perhaps I'm wrong but I think the Chanterelle is the only mushroom with false gills! Next time they both pop up together ill try and do a more in depth comparison 😁

Good video man. Now I noticed you didn’t cut them at the base and pulled them. Which i cut all mine at the base and had none back the following year so not sure if it messes with the mycelium that much what do you think?

I have read that the exposed cut stump can lead to some kind of pathogenic infection. Also I guess you get more mudroom and it's important for positive ID to get the whole thing.

Hi Bill, that big mushroom is an Orange Birch Bolete. Quite easy to identify. Personally I think it's really tasty and adds a great texture for dishes. I have another video about it on my channel. I've heard not everyone gets in with it so if you find one make sure to cook it thoroughly.

[@beastinthesky6774]

That's a beautiful area.

[@sukottora]

Loads of Chanterelles in the highlands at the mo, a fair few false ones too. Looks like there is a run of late ceps coming up at the moment which is good news. Once you learn to spot a false chanterelle you can recognise them without breaking step. It's usually the colour that gives them away but they also look 'wrong'. Try roasting your chanterelles next time, they cook wonderfully this way. Same with boletes.. Off to the woods tomorrow to see what I can find.

[@JamieKunka]

Thanks I'll give roasting them a try next time. Just spotted some in a forest yesterday so might go on a forage excursion.
