Chanterelles 2022

[Bullkllr]

I went to a couple of my spots over the weekend and not even a nubbin yet. I'm not sure how long it takes for them to sprout after a rain with the long dry spell we had? Maybe some of the local experts would have more insights.

7-10 days from the first good soakings is a pretty good guess.

What are the elevations and key factors for chants on the east side? Or is it the same as in the west in general? I found morels this year but my only experience with chants was growing up on the coast.

I just made a huge haul from up by Pierce and Headquarters in Idaho yesterday! They were everywhere! Picked a grocery bag full in about five minutes. Saw some nice corals too and a few I didn't know.

Just took a look at a historically very productive spot on Tiger Mtn.  Nothing, as in no chantys or any other sort of mushroom - which is the really odd thing.  Thinking the area is going to skip this year due to the long hot summer...

That's what I've been finding -no fungi of any sort- in previously productive spots. And I think you might be right.

I went to spot to hunt blacktail that I've picked chantrelles every year I've been there. Nothing. Usually the chantrelles are at least a nice way to take the sting away from getting ghosted by the bucks! But I went away empty handed.

Go later guys. They will be coming late due to the dry conditions. I just picked a ton up in Pierce Idaho after a light snowfall last week and the dingus was everywhere. It was pretty late due to the dry summer. I would go back each week if it's not too far out of your way.

In LD24 we trust....

I absolutely love mushroom hunting, on the eastside.
 My 11 yr old son says i love it more than deer hunting.. (a little truth to that).  Where we pick it is dismal,  not a mushroom of any kind.  To dry for too long and now the rain is here it won't warm up enough to get them going.  Freezing temperatures coming early next week and that'll be it for the season.   But things could be worse, im going elk hunting in the sawtooth mtn range on Tuesday for a week so there's that!!!

The dingus??? I'm not sure what happened there... Autocorrect? Anyway, the fungi was growing everywhere! Lol

Looked in two spots today that produce yearly and nothing.

Kept eyes open while deer hunting a new area, found one old one.
Area looked like it should produce but been so dry.
Going out tomorrow and will look in areas that have produced in the past.

Going to look tomorrow.  A buddy found a bag full pretty close to where i'll be going yesterday.

Yeah I forgot to mention my advice for going later was for the Westside. You're correct, once it freezes you're probably not going to find anything until next year's morels come up. I think I got the window of opportunity perfectly last week when I was in Idaho. It's probably too cold up there now to find much of anything except some corals.
