And folks say eating swamp cabbage is strange... ??
That a type of wild mushroom? Never heard of it.
They're delicious. Laetiporus cincinnatus, white-bottom chicken of the woods. I've found them big as a dishpan. Never found one in the spring here, though.
Yep. That looks like the best kind with the white pore surface, too.

Thanks, are they the Cincinatus ? I read up a little , but trust a trained eye better. Sorry , just seen post #8, thanks.
Yep, the cincinnatus comes up out of the ground like that off of tree roots and has white pores, the sulphureus grows directly on trees or logs and has yellow pores.
I love swamp cabbage. I haven`t gathered nor eaten any since the late 1970s, but that was some good stuff.
Oh it is! Especially cooked with some hot sausage.
Swamp cabbage & fried mullet!

That must be a bad fungus, if ya needed a knife and a gun ?
As for swamp cabbage, I'm not familiar with it. I did eat a bunch of palm hearts though, often straight out of the tree.

I'd like to see if my Dachshund could be trained to find edible shrooms. I'd never eat one unless I was with someone that knows edible. Although I've seen dozens of pics and read all the threads, I'm pretty sure I could recognize some. But- since some are poisonous, I wouldn't try it unless someone off of GON gave the green light.
In the OP's starter and the rest of the post' with pictures in this thread, they look very good and and not molested in any way. I buy store bought in different species. I love them sauteed, grilled and in soups and stews. Most of the mushrooms I buy will take on the flavors of whatever they are cooked with. Congrats on a good find ! ?

I don't know how one would train the dog to detect the difference. Learn a few and be comfortable with the few you can visually ID. I could be content with just chanterelles. Where a dog's scenting ability would be useful would be to detect truffles in pecan groves. You can obtain the pecan truffle oil online. Scent free wash cloths, left in the sun after washing, are scented with a drop or two of the oil. The dog is rewarded if it picks up the scented one and ignores the unscented ones. The cloths are rolled up identical so its not a visual cue. Some trainers use the click method of reward. My dogs would want food. Lots of food. Gil
