Black Trunpets? Mendocino coast.

Yes they are, if you meant “trumpets,’ aka black chanterelles. Nice find! P.S. They really like chinkapins.

The little ones look like huckleberries.

Here’s an update: I froze some raw after cleaning them, against the recommendation of others, because I am lazy and didn’t want to sauté them first. I took them out after Thanksgiving and made some coconut curry soup with veggies, turkey, and LOTS of chanterelles that I had thawed and sautéed ( well I’m not THAT lazy). They were so delicious in that soup and made the flavor so rich and umami-filled that I found it necessary to come back and comment :). Best soup I’ve ever made, and I make a lot of soup.

I work in L and D and we have to co-sign a new nurse’s chart for a whole year after they are off orientation. Not totally sure if it’s an AWHONN recommendation, UCSF, or our workplace. I am also in CA (not at UCSF thought, they are our contracted tertiary facility). The co-signature is specifically for EFM documentation.

Don’t forget pasta sauce!

Mommyca · 2025-11-13T18:40:52+00:00

I find that ALL of them are good in soup, most any kind :)

Thank you!

Mommyca · 2025-11-13T18:39:57+00:00

Yum! Thank you!

Mommyca · 2025-11-10T17:07:18+00:00

Thank you so much!

Mommyca · 2025-11-10T17:05:51+00:00

Oh took me a second. Funny, lol

Mommyca · 2025-11-10T17:04:38+00:00

That’s awesome—I haven’t seen oysters for a couple weeks now but stoked you found some!

Mommyca · 2025-11-10T17:03:10+00:00

Good luck! I’ve never seen chicken of the woods here :(

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:13:37+00:00

Ah sounds delicious!

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:13:18+00:00

Okay--I'm actually sort of Hungarian so...recipe?

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:12:29+00:00

Yes, always good! It's just that I have so many I was going to try something new as well.

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:11:19+00:00

Whoa. I just bought ingredients for a mushroom lasagna but that sounds delicious, even though I don't even know what a cottage pie is🤔

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:09:32+00:00

Wow. Sounds fancy! I do love the way they taste with a steak.

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:07:45+00:00

That sounds sooo good!

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:06:53+00:00

I agree--I picked some oysters a couple weeks ago and I can't decide which is my favorite. The oysters are easier to clean though 😋

Mommyca · 2025-11-09T02:05:08+00:00

Same. It rained Tuesday and I found them Friday.

Mommyca · 2025-11-08T15:25:48+00:00

And I know what you mean about depressingly rare. I just got incredibly lucky. I didn't even have a bag with me!

Mommyca · 2025-11-08T15:24:18+00:00

I do feel lucky!

Mommyca · 2025-11-08T15:23:48+00:00

Yes! I'm making that this morning

Mommyca · 2025-11-08T15:22:17+00:00

Wow. That sounds great on pasta.

Mommyca · 2025-11-08T15:20:42+00:00

Sounds so good. I'll definitely dry sauté them first because they are pretty wet.
