Chanterelles

Anyone finding any?! Went to one of my spots but no luck yet!

Headed out tomorrow to the honey hole should be popping by now, especially with today's rain.

Found a couple dozen in 407 a little over a week ago. About 600 FT elevation. All pretty small but those perfect first of the year chanterelles. Some I found were even gone past.

Found a few of what seemed to be Chant's last Monday.  They were a little on the pale side and harder than I normally find.  It was really dry where I was kind of surprised there was anything at all.  I just left them there not enough to bother picking.

Will make sure I hunt back through that area in Sept, once we get some rain seemed like a really good area for shrooms, and a decent area for Elk and deer.

Those sound like early west side buttons but don't take my word for it. A lot of times you'll find them popping on the side of hard-packed dirt roads. They're like a light peach color, almost bleached.

that is spot on what I found minus the road, but the soil was pretty packed in that little area.  Should have snapped a pic but was too busy swatting the skeeters

If they are, those are really choice buttons, very dense and flavorful, with almost an apricot finish. Take some pics next time, both close up and a few feet away.

Well dang,  my inexperience in shrooms made me leave some good ones behind.
I pulled the camera in that location but it is only 5 minutes from another one, I'll look again next time I am in there to see if there are more.

Found a few to go in the spaghetti squash marinara and Italian sausage tonight.

Nice work!

If a spot produces them in late October should they still start to produce now or later???

Found 6 in one of my spots around 650’

What's a good way to prepare them?

I've tried a couple times and couldn't get over the slug texture.
