Unless it's REALLY bad I just consider those things extra protein...lol!! Soaking it in saltwater for a while seems to draw those buggers out. Also, a dehydrator or something similar will make them want to leave quick too..lol!! If it's obvious and really bad yeah I throw them out. One or two though..................Well, you know.

those chants were mighty fine todd, sauteed them with onion,in butter and a bit of olive oil, diced up a left over steak from the night before, scrambeled 3 eggs over the whole mess, salt & pepper to taste, that was my breakfast buddy.

Forgot to mention one other thing about chants. Just because you do not see any pin holes in the stem after cutting it, does not guarantee that they are bugg /worm free.

I have cut them in halfe length wise with no sign of a pin hole in the stem and found the cap just riddled with worm holes. Go figure

I went to a State Forest Tuesday and managed to find some Chanterelles. After cleaning and discarding the bad ones. I ended up with five pounds, which I had to share with a friend so we ended up with 2.5 pounds each. I dehydrated half and will munch and freeze the rest.

Today while walking the dog in the local woods I found the lobsters. That was a nice surprise.

I had some of the lobster with breakfast. A very interesting texture and taste. I had some strange looking eggs. Weird!!!!!!!

You are so right Ed about the texture and strange looking eggs. If someone would slide a plate full of that concoction in front of you to eat, you'd have second thoughts about eating it.

But since you prepared it yoursef, you know what the ingredience consited of.

I'm with Woodbuch on the worms. A few weeks ago I found great #'s of Chants at our cabin. But only to find out that about 1 out of every 20 was bug free. The worms are very tiny and hard to spot.

Here are some photos of some lobsters I located while walking the dog today.
