This is a young dead man's foot sliced in half. The middle has a beautiful metallic luster. Arora says is used as a dye and medically in Asia.

Chanterelles + Pork + Onion + Yogurt = Yummie Breakfast

In a cast iron pan, dry sauté the chanterelles on med heat until water stops coming out. Then pour some olive oil over the mushrooms and add thinly sliced onions and thinly sliced pork chop. Fry until the pork chop is done. Serve with a wallop of yogurt.

Chanterelles

Chanterelles grow during the wet season under oak in well drained soil. Look for them on eastern sloping hills. It's been wet and we left many chanterelles behind because they were too soggy.
