Cut them ground level and use a paper or mesh bag to spread the spores. We picked so many ran out of bags and had to use plastic bags

West side or east side?  Anybody have any tips on where to look for them on the Wet side?  Do they like certain trees?

For anyone interested in S. king county, Carpinitos in downtown Kent has them for $5.49 a pound right now.

Somewhere between Spokane and Seattle

People value their mushroom locations much more than their hunting locations

More on the W side. Drive up into the mountains, and start looking. I suggest taking someone with you who is an experienced in the ID of mushrooms.

Eating antelope tenderloin with fried chantrelles now as I write this. Yum Yum

Good luck

No need to cut any of those. They will not regrow. Just rip out of the ground and cut the dirt off.

I was told that there is a limit of something like 5lbs of them that you can have without a permit, is there any truth to that ??

[billythekidrock]

yes, depending on where and what land there are varying limits. You will need to contact the landowner/managing agency for specific limits.

Know your mushrooms   Each year interest grows in harvesting wild mushrooms from National Forests. Proper identification and determination of whether a mushroom is edible is the responsibility of the picker. Many forest mushroom varieties are poisonous. There are many guide books available to assist with identification. Some forests offer field guides for sale. Your local library, county extension office, and local Mycological Society are good sources of information. Our word to the wise is: WHEN IN DOUBT... LEAVE IT IN THE WOODS!
