frankbeswick, Yes, unfortunately Europe does not have these attractive, tasty mushrooms. But fortunately, neither does Europe have the attractive, fragrant, but upsetting chanterelle lookalike, the jack-o'lantern mushroom (Omphalotus illudens)!
A very informative article about a species which is not native to Europe as far as I know [hence I had not heard of it.]
blackspanielgallery, Yes, letting a small cluster reproduce does result in a large, self-sustaining population as long as no environmental trauma occurs. But any removal during and after the build-up to sustainability must involve all of the body parts (as opposed to slicing the above-ground and leaving behind the below-ground) of what is judiciously taken for human consumption.
Cinnabar red chanterelles show up between early and late fall so I can count on 4 or 5 months of mushroom pleasure. But I only take about 15% of the total population at a time, with the taking dependent upon when replacements show up for the culinary casualties!
MBC, "Yum!" says everything in regard to cinnabar red chanterelle's look and taste!
I was wondering if a small cluster forms would it not be wise to allow them to reproduce until you have a large, self-sustaining population?
Yum, very interesting. Great photos
VioletteRose, Red is definitely one of nature's ambiguous yet dynamic colors and oftentimes signifies toxicity. So it's nice when red signals carefree tastiness, as in cinnabar red chanterelle mushrooms.
Very colourful and beautiful looking. From their appearance, I would have never guessed they are edible mushrooms.
