Jealous! I haven't had a chance to go check my chanterelle spots yet! That's a nice haul, where are you located?
Also, what's the one in the bottom middle? Doesn't look like a chant, but I can't really make out the details.
Thank you! I'm on the west coast of Sweden. It's been a bit too set this year to be a really good chanterelle year. But I'm happy with what we've got.
The whiteish mushroom is a "Hydnum repandum", apparently known as the sweet tooth, wood hedgehog or hedgehog mushroom in English. We call it "spine mushroom", because the bottom is covered with lots of tiny spikes.
Sweet F2I went out this afternoon with the intention of sitting in the deer stand and doing some hunting. It was cold and rainy and my heart just wasn't in it today. I was much more interested in walking the woods to see if the recent rain had produced any hen-of-the-woods. I ventured off intovthe woods (away from my hunting ground) and set off looking for mushrooms. Unfortunately I did not come across any hens, there have only been a handful of reports that they are up, but I did come across some other edibles. I found 15-20 puff balls, but only harvested one as I do not enjoy them all that much, I also found a bunh of oysters. I haven't eaten oyster mushrooms before, so I am excited to cook them up. I used my new F2 to collect the oysters. I gotta say I really love that knife!

Sweet F2
The F2 is awesome! I know most like them thin and all, but I want one in tapered 5/32 or at least 1/8 for small game prep and I like being ablt to tell the knife is in my pocket without feelingThanks, it is quickly becoming my favorite food prep and small game knife!
1/8" would be nice, I wouldn't mind a little weight to the knife. However 3/32" is some sweet stuff. It is light, nimble, and makes for a great slicer.The F2 is awesome!

I love my 5/32 Esquire. I want to get my hands in a 5/32 Toboggan or Hiking Buddy.Yeah, I had one in 3/32 a few years ago, and have handled several others. The 3/32 doesn't suck or anything, I'm just still holding out for a thicker one though. My Handyman and Esquire both are 5/32 and I like it that way

Awesome! I finally figured out where the wild onions grow in Colorado. Just haven't found a large enough patch of them to consider harvesting any yet.Garlic blooming

Spent about 30 minutes after work gathering a bunch of stuff.
