luzulaI have been away Friday-Monday with my mom to the family summer place, and it's been wonderful. We actually got along very well, and have had lots of delicious food, mostly reasonable discussions instead of political quarrels, long walks in the woods picking mushrooms, and evenings in front of the fireplace.
We picked huge amounts of mushrooms, so much that they were quite heavy to carry home and we ran out of containers and had to improvise and carry some of them in a jacket. And then frying them up to boil the water out of them to prepare them for the freezer was hard work too. But it was all extremely satisfying!
Most of the ones in the first photo are Craterellus tubaeformis, which is trattkantarell in Swedish, and variously yellowfoot, winter mushroom, or funnel chanterelle in English, according to Wikipedia. That last name is a direct equivalent of the Swedish name. Then you can also see a fair amount of Cantharellus lutescens or rödgul trumpetsvamp in Swedish and yellowfoot in English (the Swedish name means red-yellow trumpet mushroom), and a few Cantharellus cibarius or gul kantarell in Swedish and just chanterelle in English. And a very few Hydnum repandum, which is blek taggsvamp in Swedish and sweet tooth, wood hedgehog or hedgehog mushroom in English.
The next day we found lots of Craterellus cornucopioides which is super-tasty. In Swedish it's svart trumpetsvamp and in English it seems to have lots of names: horn of plenty, black chanterelle, black trumpet, trumpet of the dead. We made soup out of some of it mixed in with some funnel chanterelle. Yum.
