The Rõuge mushroom days found a coat-of-arms mushroom – on the trunk of a willow, in the middle of Rõuge at the Haanja road, there is a colony of sulphur shelf or chicken-in-the-woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) that may be among the mightiest in the land. They look particularly fine in close-up.
And it is not true that there are no “normal“ cap-bearing mushrooms in the forests any longer. Here is the favourite of many mushroom gourmets, the yellow legs, or funnel or trumpet chanterelle (Cantharellus tubaeformis). And those who don’t believe in the eating value of this mushroom can ask master chef Vladislav for themselves on Saturday.
