They are false chanterelle. Note the gills and colour. I had a lovely omlette made from them (false chanterelle) for lunch yesterday with no ill effects. Not as tasty as true Chanterelle, nor do they retain the colour when fried. |

Perhaps that was why the omlette was so nice!

They are False Chanterelles, growing in some quantity just now in the East Lothian area. Only this week I had to empty one pickers basket, it was practically full of them. Very few chanterelles around in this area - only the odd one or two.
It's amazing what some people pick to eat. On Sunday I stopped for a coffee at a country pub and saw a woman with a wicker basket full of boletus chrysenteron. I asked if she knew what they were and she replied 'boletus' in a Slavic accent. Seemed happy enough... | | | |
