Thanks for that tip. Having the crawdad meat already cleaned would save a lot of work. The crawdads the next door neighbor lady used were also from Louisiana.

Yellow Chanterelles today in Oak woods.
This woods never has any of the fist sized big Smooth Chanterelles - just the smaller silver dollar sized Yellow Chanterelles.
![Food Ingredient Recipe Baked goods Dish]()
The Chanterelles were lingering in the vegetation at the edges of now dried vernral pools. A few good spots were along downed trees, growing in the shadows and protected there from wind and sun. Without rain in that woods, the hundreds of baby Chanterelles are not going to grow. Typically in this woods, I find them in the open in sparse vegetation.
Take some time and spend it in the woods!! 🌞😎

Drying, after cleaning this morning, the small Yellow Chanterelles on the left are both a different color and different size than the Smooth Chanterelles on the right.
Enjoy some time in the Summer Woods! 🌞 🌞

Chanterelle Shepard Pie & Charcoaled Red Snapper
Tonight for dinner, working off an excess of Chanterelles. This recipe called for 8 cups of sliced Chanterelles.
![Food Tableware Plate Blue Dishware]()
It seems like making 3 different dishes, then layering them together in the same dish and baking them further.

The result was great eating and good acompanyment to the Charcoaled Red Snapper.
Good Mushroom Hunting!! 😎 🌞

Hocking County OH
Thursday I made a spring water run to Hocking county. There were mushrooms every close by to the spring. I'm going to have to make a mushroom hunting trip as I wasn't prepared to hunt on this trip.
This beautiful "Bitter Bolete" below was growing out of the mossy ground at the base of a tree

After getting my 50 gallons of spring water, my trip tag-alongs and I went to the Inn-at-the-Falls restaurant. In the Hocking State Park.
The soup of the day was fresh, wild Chanterelle Soup, Ha!!
That & a burger & a glass of wine and I was in heaven
![Food Tableware Dishware Kitchen utensil Ingredient]()
They made their Chanterelle soup with Half & Half for a smooth base and kept the Chanterelles sufficiently whole to recognize. This rendition contrasts with my prep above (post #19), where the liquid was chicken broth and the whole soup was blenderized till creamy smooth. I would guess my prep had 4-5 times more Chanterelles in a bowl and was reflected in the taste.
Still, I loved it!
Enjoy the woods!! 😎 🌞
