View and Vote on our 2004 Photo Contest Entries August 2004 Jean O. Fahey- Editor Jewels of the forest The July meeting was a visual treat to all that attended. The club's ownership of the
breathtaking View Master Mushroom slides is an invaluable asset and thanks to the efforts
of Jay Stack they could finally be shared. The Foray at Green Lakes was well attended by
about a dozen people, some new to the group, Jay reports. Golden Chanterelles
(Cantharellus cibarius) and Black-Staining Polypores (Meripilus giganteus) were found.
Nancy Kaiser gave a great lesson on wild leeks and the benefits of Jewel Weed to counter
the irritation caused by poison oak, ivy and mosquito bites. Thanks, Jay for the report
and making the View Master happen! MYCOPHAGY CORNER Salmon with Black Trumpets and Horseradish Sauce
Another member of the Chanterelle family, the Black Trumpet may be one of the most difficult of the edibles to find. Not only does their dark coloring serve them as camouflage among leaf litter, but they seem to be fond of hiding among tall grasses. Depending on the weather conditions, its color varies from black to brown to a beautiful mottled bluish gray. Also known as the Trompette de Mort (trumpet of death) because of its shape and color, it is highly aromatic and distinctly delicious. It is trumpet shaped with a hollow stalk that flares open at the top. The undersurface is smooth to slightly veined or wrinkled. They are found scattered about in groups or clusters and can be found in great quantity, once your eyes adjust to their camouflage. They grow in the same spots year after year and dry easily for use in winter or dry seasons. All Meetings are on the third Monday of the month at 7:30 pm. room 127 Illick Hall on the ESF campus of SU unless otherwise noted. AUGUST 22nd Joint Foray with MYMS at VanderKamp. Sunday 1pm.
