Here I have photographed some delicious Golden chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius). They are the most well known edible mushroom here in Norway and is probably the most exclusive mushroom too.
You can use Golden chanterelles in a lot of different dishes, but I prefer to eat them plain after some minutes on a hot plate with a pinch of salt and maybe some organic sour cream. It is absolutely yummy!
This year we have found a lot of edible mushrooms in the forest so stay tuned for more mushroom pictures. It is very nice to be able to gather edible food from the nature, but it is also a bit scary to gather mushrooms as there are so many toxic ones. I use a rule for gathering mushrooms: If I am not certain I wont eat them! I can also enjoy the meal much better if I know that the mushrooms that I’m eating is safe. If you want to look at a mushroom that is toxic, take a look on my photo of a fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) fungus.
Here is another picture of Golden chanterelle. They are a bit dirty, but fully eatable and I must say I enjoyed eating them. A lot! 🙂

How do you prepare and cook them? As any other mushroom or something different?
Great colours!
Wonderful mushroom images Jungl. Greetings.
What wonderful yellows! With a color like that, they must be easier to spot in the wild than ‘regular’ drab mushrooms. Well done, Thomas.
Amazingly beautiful, I can’t believe it’s actually a mushroom
Hi, great blog and community ……. we would love you to join our wild nutter team 🙂 http://www.justaddwild.com – even to consider it would be fab! Do you showcase your work anywhere else? Hope to chat soon Gail
Yum!
It’s as if I’m reading National Geographic in here.
Good stuff, Thomas, if only I knew how it would taste like.
