I have been occupied with much these days but I was in the forest today and pick some Chantarelles :) Taken with my Pentax K10D and my Tamron 28-300 lens. Thanks for looking and comments always appreciated.

Hell, never seen one before, do they taste nice ? wonderful colour, I take it they are edible, please let me know....

Google: Cantharellus cibarius
This pleasantly aromatic fleshy wild mushroom shines like an exotic golden flower when seen from a distance against the drab autumn forest background. Also known as "golden chanterelle" and "egg mushroom," it has a magical appeal for most culinary experts in Europe, United States, and Asia. But all chanterelles are not alike. European and Asian forms are usually about the size of a thumb. In the eastern United States they are the size of a fist. But, ah, in the west they can be as large as two hand spans--from little finger to little finger. Chanterelles weighing as much as two pounds are not uncommon.

Chanterelles are very, but mind you all, VERY tasty. I used to cook them very slowly on a low fire with cream - delicious !!!
Now we all see that these mushrooms are also very photogenic and look very handsome on pictures !!
Thanks, dear Mariana !!!
PS: I would not believe Mark in respect of two pounds mushrooms !!! LOL
But perhaps in the US ... and in the western states ... LOL

Lovely shot Mariana - I have not been fortunate enough to sample one of these delicacies - it looks very exotic.

Wow, that is incredible! I have never seen one before, nor had the opportunity to taste one. I am stuck in a rut with my button mushrooms. lol! Now that I am back in Thailand, I can hardly find them, but they have a huge variety of other mushrooms that I would have no idea how to prepare, I will have to watch for these, and start experimenting a bit. Nice shot!
