So I think quite a lot of people eat them in Europe and South America. I do not know of any severe reactions taken to the false chanterelle apart from gastric upset. There have been some claims that they are halucinagenic but I believe that has now been disproven. My good friends ate quite a lot once by mistake and did not suffer any symptoms. However there is a comment somewhere for this video in which a TH-cam user reports some strange symptoms after eating some. In many text books and so on they are just classed as inedible. Citing that they do not have a pleasant taste and nothing else. However the false chanterelle has high levels of a sugar alchohol that could cause some temporary gastric distress.
Brilliant video thank you. I've got a patch near me and I've been wondering about them for years. It's really helpful to see the false and the true chanterelle compared side by side and feature by feature. I'm subscribing
@@JamieKunka ... Does he sniff out the hard to find mushrooms for you?😉 I see people are training dogs in the UK now to sniff out truffles 😁 they smell nicer than pig... I'd love my dog to be able to smell out the Morel's and Trumpets, that are so hard to find😊
@@vadaminot429 Quite a few years back I had trained one of my old German pointers to bark when he found chantarelles, he thought it was great fun and it was really useful and a big help for me to find chantarelles. However it made him totally useless as a hunting dog for forest birds such as wood grouse/capercaillie, luckily I don't have any of those on my hunting grounds, but it was a little embarrassing to explain the reason why I had to turn down invites from my friends to bring my dog and go hunting. He was still very useful in the farmlands on the field hunting for pheasants.
Great video, thanks. Really informative and concise. I found some earlier today, but they were very white inside so I think they must've been the true chanterelle, I'll go back tomorrow and pick some. That omelette looks delicious by the way.
That's great! I hope you've got the real thing. Be sure to check the gills are false as well! I've since found some wetter specimens to be yellowed inside from the water! Jamie
This is amazingly helpful. Just started foraging around 10,000 feet in Colorado. This really gives us hope and excitement. Just ate some flat top coral mushrooms that we foraged today. They were so delicious.
Great explanation! Something to add - true ones have thicker stems that are a bit more strong, curved and not so straight, while false ones are thin, flimsy and more straight.
Found your video today while searching for information to confirm my identification of False Chanterelles that popped up in the backyard today. I see that you setup the tripod and camera to frame a Dyer's Polypore (Phaeolus schweinitzii?) in the foreground of the shot at 3:12. Nice touch, as additional species always add interest to fungal (as contrasted to viral 😆🤭) videos.
Thanks. I have some that just came up in my woods again in the same place as last year. It's a good review tho for me. If you need a new home for the dog...I have room!!!
Great video! I think I let some true chanterelles get away last year because I wasn't convinced they weren't false. Feeling much more confident in myself going into my next search!
Great video and explaining the difference between the two mushrooms. I’m in USA, Alabama, and found a large area of chanterelles in the national forest. I’m glad you made the video so I can be sure that they are the correct kind. Again, thanks 😊
Thanks. I thought I had some false Chanterelles mixed in with my other Chanterelles as they were not nearly as irregular around the outer edge. but the were paper white on the inside and they had that small ruffled center part.
You sir have just earned yourself a new subscriber! Very lovely, thorough, and informative video. Thank you so much for sharing. I am learning about mushrooms that grow in Texas to hopefully be confident enough to be able to consume them one day once I am able to differentiate false ones. I appreciate the effort and detail you've put into making this video. Please continue to make more because I am definitely sticking around :D
@@JamieKunka I just started getting into mushrooms a few weeks ago when I spotted a bunch walking through my local forest and to get started I Googled edible mushrooms in Texas. The first and most common ones to pop up are Chanterelles, Morels, and Oysters. That's actually how I found your video!
@@catropractor that's awesome I'm glad you found the channel 😁 Id love to find a Morel but haven't seen any yet! Watch out for the false Morel, I think it's quite poisonous!
@@JamieKunka Yes me too! I read online they go for $30 a pound at Farmer's Markets! I would absolutely love it if you made more mushroom identification videos especially ones that show side by side comparisons of false and poisonous look alikes (I also don't mind if you just utilize pictures instead of finding the real life examples). I've noticed that this is a very specific niche on TH-cam that's yet to be fulfilled and I believe you are a great candidate 👍
Nice one, man - good to know that the hundreds of fungi I found in a pine wood today were false chanterelle. I was suspicious so I left them and scoured TH-cam for a decent ID video - that's for that.
That fart, tho 😆 Edit: ok, that was probly a bee. Lol this was a great video! Awesome omlet and your cabin in the woods stole my heart! Plus ur doggy's expression mid omlet 😅 subscribed!
when I saw this excellent video I recalled saying to you in January that it would be hard to get a Chanterelle wrong. You were too polite to put me in my place. It seems the false ones are probably OK, so that's good. Great video on Ceps too. I presume you filmed it last year, as August would surely be very early. No sign of any here in Middle England.
I have heard recently that the false ones are thought of as edible but uninteresting or something along those lines! Filmed the ceps yesterday actually! Been finding a lot of them up hear at the moment actually. Literally tripping over them often!
@@JamieKunka Well I am surprised . When I saw your video I cycled through the local woods to look about but there is nothing happening here. You must get a very early start to the season up there. We get mainly Suillus luteus (Sticky Bun) of the cep group when they are out.
I made the mistake of eating these without cooking them long enough. These are my symptoms as they occured Day 1 - 3 hours after consuming, nausea & vomiting..went to sleep. Day 2- woke feeling nausea, anxiety, vertigo, stomach pain. Muscle cramps and spasms starting at extremities. Day 3 - muscle spasms and vertigo all day as well as waves of nausea and anxiety. Spasms moving to larger muscles while leaving previously affected muscles sore. Day 4- unsettling kidney pain, whole body sore and stiff from spasms. Day 5- felt normal relieved
Jamie Kunka they were eaten last night with garlic, pancetta, red onion, pepper, fresh tomatoes and scrambled egg. Delicious but terrifying to eat because I was so anxious I’d picked false ones haha
@@Super_tramp142 I remember that exact feeling the first time I ate them when I was younger! I still always think of the old mushroom adage... "There are old mushroom hunters and there are the bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old bold mushroom hunters"
That's a good question! The false gills are quite subtle on some of the Chanterelles and on other chanterelles they look very veiny and nothing like gills. Perhaps I'm wrong but I think the Chanterelle is the only mushroom with false gills! Next time they both pop up together ill try and do a more in depth comparison 😁
I always check the veins. To me, they are not false gills, which run straight and deep. The chanterelle veins bulge from the surface and branch out continuously. You have to be careful. I have great trouble with the boletes because of lack of knowledge so I leave them alone. Thanks for the great video.
Hi Bill, that big mushroom is an Orange Birch Bolete. Quite easy to identify. Personally I think it's really tasty and adds a great texture for dishes. I have another video about it on my channel. I've heard not everyone gets in with it so if you find one make sure to cook it thoroughly.
Honestly I was just curious about it since I searched up mushrooms because my friend picked up one( not this mushroom tho) very informative and useful.. will definitely tried to find some!
Glad I came across this video since I've seen similar mushrooms in my own yard. Won't be so quick to stomp on them and mash them into the ground. I will check for now on.
Good video man. Now I noticed you didn’t cut them at the base and pulled them. Which i cut all mine at the base and had none back the following year so not sure if it messes with the mycelium that much what do you think?
I have read that the exposed cut stump can lead to some kind of pathogenic infection. Also I guess you get more mudroom and it's important for positive ID to get the whole thing.
They are just classed as inedible aparently because they don't taste great and they give some people gastric upset. I've heard mixed reports about some people eating them and being fine and other people being slightly unwell.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Keep looking they could be hidden under something very close! Sometimes under long grass and moss. Be sure to search near the trees as well!
@@JamieKunka thanks! I'll go on the hunt tomorrow! If I were to accidentally eat a false chanterelle (not going to, but in theory) would it be very harmful?
Some folks seen to tolerate them fine! I believe the worst symptom would be stomach upset. Just be careful it's not the glow in the dark jack o lantern mushroom! That orange one is quite poisonous!
I'm not sure about books but there are a few mobile apps with very nice colour photos. Learn your Land is a great TH-cam channel too for the mushroom identification and foraging! I often like to refer to a few sources such as books and photos and a video of the mushroom to get s really good feel for what I'm looking for when identifying.
Some people say they eat them with no trouble and some others say they get upset stomachs from them. I have not tried them personally. But I accidentally cooked them once and they smelt quite nice! I just didn't eat them when I realised they were the false ones.
Loads of Chanterelles in the highlands at the mo, a fair few false ones too. Looks like there is a run of late ceps coming up at the moment which is good news. Once you learn to spot a false chanterelle you can recognise them without breaking step. It's usually the colour that gives them away but they also look 'wrong'. Try roasting your chanterelles next time, they cook wonderfully this way. Same with boletes.. Off to the woods tomorrow to see what I can find.

It’s not play. That’s a working dog.. it wants a job..

do you have any videos on gill styles? I am new to foraying// mycology, and would love to know about the false gill vs true gill.

Don't recall it being mentioned--real chanterelles are stiff. False ones are floppy and bend easily.
