Very good mushrooms. Grows well in conjunction with the hazel and oak in south-central Sweden.
Description:
• Thin trumpet-shaped fruiting bodies.
• cap the top side (the trumpet inside) småfjällig, black, more brown in the dry.
• cap the bottom / exterior slightly wrinkled, gray-blue-gray.
• The foot is hollow and the lower part is black.
Comment:
Suitable for all types of cooking. Is easy to dry for long term storage. Cut like to remove the foot bottom as it often is a bit "woody" in texture.
Grows often in conjunction with oak and hazel, but also occur in coniferous forests rich in herbs.
Confusion Mushrooms:
Krus Chanterelle - is lighter in color, grows more gyttrat.
Grey mushroom - has bags under his hat.
The above species are edible, but should not be picked as mushrooms because of their rarity.
