Chanterelles 2023
kodiak10:
Heard they are out in the Idaho Panhandle as of last week. I should go out sometime soon around North Spokane with all the rain we have been getting. Still new to this area so I am not too sure they are out there in numbers.
I miss all my chanterelle spots in the Olympics. It is insane a week or so after those first fall rains.

Well kodiak10 that settles it. I'll be posting some up next week on this threadI hope! I'll bring a few pounds out of the woods hopefully. Saute in butter then freeze them! That's the best way to store them long term. Then when you wanna eat them pull them out and use immediately. Don't let them sit in the fridge after being frozen. Even if cooked.

Never heard of the saute then freeze technique. I will have to try that. I always just throw them in a food dehydrator.
Found a good amount of Chanterelles this summer in Minnesota on a long canoeing trip. A lot of our salame and cheese went bad early so that mushrooms were a real treat. Had to eat something besides pike, walleye and lake trout

I cook and freeze them in muffin pans, perfect for a king scramble eggs! I use butter and olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and shot of brandy. Cook about 80% done then cool, pack in muffin pan and freeze. Take out the next day, hit the bottom with a hot water spray, they pop out bag in ziplock back into the freezer. Drop in stews, pop roasts, eggs and whatever you want to.

Good method there Smokeploe! I have never actually dehydrated them but I have heard it takes away the flavor. I usually saute them just to the point of pulling the moisture out and then freeze them. That's if I don't just cook them all up into a white sauce and mix with cheese and noodles and eat them all within a few days with elk steak! :chuckle:
