Cantharellus cibarius
Posted: Thu 16 Jul, 2009 6:24 pm
Hi folks,
I have a friend visiting the state in spring, he is a world renowned chef and a bit of a mushroom expert.
Apparently the Cantharellus cibarius or Chanterelle or Golden Chanterelle mushroom occurs in Tassie.
It is associated with the Myrtle Beech forests, but my question is;
Does anyone have knowledge of this fungi or where there might be hotspots in the forests of Tas. We are happy to travel anywhere to find them.
P.S. Any other exotic edible fungi info will be most welcome. Bear in mind I am accompanied by an expert mushroom identifier and are well aware of the number of toxic friends the Chanterelle has.
