With my luck, I find it’s easier for me to just buy the mushrooms from the store. That way I won’t be killing myself with my lack of knowledge on mushrooms

Interesting. Any particular reason why? Here, it's common to soak morels in salt water to coax out any bugs that may be hidden away .

Chantarelles like store bought mushrooms get kind of slimy when you was them. Its OK to
rinse them if you plan on using they right away. Rinsing them and not using them right away
makes them mushy and ruins there firm texture. I use a new 1" paint brush to remove dirt
and debris from them which still needed to be done on the pictured one pound. I also am very
picky on the one's I choose. I don't like the one's that grow in muddy soil as they are harder
to clean. The one's that come up in leaf mulch are my favorite. These mushrooms grow
exclusively under Live Oak trees. I understand needing to soak morels because of their porous
texture.

Thats all I generally see of the eatables of interest. Get quite a few AMANTA's but that species has no many similar look-a-likes with some that will kill You !!!
Have always left them alone. Sure wish we had Chantrelles in this area as there my absolute favorite

Are you up in the Colfax Grass Valley area ? I think your elevation and type of trees plays a
big part why you don't have them. These mushrooms love the Coastal regions of the Pacific
northwest.

That is a good book but still be careful. Many people have read that and similar books,
and picked something that looked edible according to the book but were wrong.

Now English are one of my #2 languages.
But are you not supposed to call those Mushrooms, or am i falling into the American / English trap here.
Lots of mushroom pickers in Danish forests when its season.

From what I have read, they are not the same although they may be related. Look them up and let me know what you find? (smile)
