365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Cantharellus Lanafiltris
Day 95: Extremely rare, Cantharellus lanafiltris might be confused with some edible species of Chanterelle, but although they are never found in the same habitat, knowledge of the morphological distinctions should be kept in mind. Otherwise known as the Woolly-Needled Chanterelle, C. lanafiltris is tomentose on all surfaces including the swollen, sparse veins on the underside of the cap. Although not poisonous, the texture of this fungus is unpleasant to the human tongue, however, the fruiting bodies are attractive to felines of all sizes and may cause digestive disturbances if consumed by small cats.
