I was able to get out over the weekend and snagged some monster smooth chanterelles, a decent handful of gorgeous cinnabar chanterelles and some bonus Strobilomyces.

I've never seen those black ones. Where are you from?

I'm in Pennsylvania, USA. They're Strobilomyces strobilaceous, an edible black bolete known as old-man-of-the-woods.

I'm European. No wonder I didn't know. Always cool to see what kind of stuff grows in other places.

those shits are why people don't pick mushrooms: "oh yeah this thing that looks like death incarnate? perfectly edible. Noononononono don't touch the one that looks like a champignon it'll erase you from the fabric of the universe!"
