Chanterelles 2022

[jdb]

I’ll be in packwood for the late hunt. Any chance for them then and there?

I would think you could find them around Packwood. Might be too cold around there though. Here's tonights dinner... Chanterelle sauce fettuccine w/steaks! Cooking the water out of them then into the sauce to simmer a bit!

Check a couple of my favorite spots today and only found a few and a lot of rotten lobsters.  Tried out a couple other spots and didn't find anything.  Drove down a road I've never drove and spotted one from the truck.  Got out a picked a Walmart sack full in about 20 mins.

There ya go! I basically did the same thing at that spot I found. Gotta keep looking!

What elevation are you guys finding them,
Areas I checked were desolate of any mushroom it seemed.

We could’ve picked 200 lbs this weekend if we wanted. Never seen so many in my life. North Idaho elk hunting.

I was around 1200 feet.

Thanks, will have to try again lower, I was 2000 feet and higher.

Worst chanterelle picking year i've ever had. 

Also i'm curious if anyone knows anything about hedgehogs?  I work with a guy that picks them every year but never in great numbers.  He might get a quarter to half a walmart bag full two or three times a year.  He is pretty tight lipped about where to even look for them.  But he finally did tell me he goes back to his chanterelle patches in late November and early December and picks hedgehogs.  Has anyone ever found what he is saying to be true?  I didn't get a chance to go look at my spots late this year.  But next year I will be checking.

Last year found hedgehogs late think October at 3500 feet. One area was an area I know chants were picked earlier in the year. Not exact spot but 15-20 yards down hill
