How To Dehydrate Chanterelles
The best way is to use a dehydrator and you will have perfectly dry and dehydrated Chanterelles.
Prep Time
10 mins
Drying Time
4 hrs
Total Time
4 hrs 10 mins
Ingredients
Fresh Chanterelles and a Dehydrator
Use a small brush to clean off the dirt. (When you cook the dry mushrooms later you can wash them off then.)
Slice mushrooms about 1/4 inch thickness. If they are small just dry them whole.
Place inside the dehydrator and check every 2 hours, you’ll know the mushrooms are dry enough when the texture becomes leathery and the mushrooms snap like a cracker. Let them cool and place them in a Glass Jar or a "Seal a Meal" bag. (Dehydrated Chanterelles store well in air-tight containers.) Plus you can "Pop" them open all year long. :tup:

Never really thought to look this early in the year, daughter wants to camp this coming weekend so will keep my eyes open. She is wanting to camp in an area that is 3000' or so, might have to try and look lower elevation either on the way in or out as well.

Do you say:
Chant-er-elle (rhymes with "can't her well")
or
Chan-trelle (rhymes with "Sham well")
basically, are you a 2 syllable Chantrelle or a 3? Is one definitively correct?

Okay, real serious Chanterelle questions:

basically, are you a 2 syllable Chantrelle or a 3? Is one definitively correct?
Finally, real questions... 2 syllable. :IBCOOL:

I think I got sick from some a year or two ago. Probably just ate too many at the start of the season. I didn't feel sick, just puked three or four times. It was weird because I had no other symptom.
Well, you should still pick them and for safety, send them to me for testing! :tup:
The really dense early chants are like bricks and they cook slower. Slice them thinner and don't be afraid to keep them on the stove for a bit. If the insides were still uncooked, you can throw up and get the cold sweats. Otherwise, even consuming a whole bunch, as you noted, will accomplish some of the same things.

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

Post by: Night goat on August 27, 2020, 10:14:01 AM
What's a good way to prepare them?
I've tried a couple times and couldn't get over the slug texture.
They do have a little woody texture sometimes but we use em for everything, great with a tender steak paired with them and asparagus in a ver blanc sauce or sautéed with green beans garlic bacon or my personal favorite a white.lasagna with basil spinach homemade ricotta, and chanterelles and oysters..... So many many things. Killer with pot roast... Deer/elk is next level... Then again i do live with a gourmet chef so...
I usually like to have 3-8 quart size mason jars dried by the end of the season. Pork is amazing too they also.make a mean ravioli or cream of mushroom soup
Id reccomend the deerholm mushroom or foraging cookbook

Dry sauté them for a while until the liquid comes out. They get a lot firmer and can be frozen a lot better too.

Chanterelles have a high sugar content and some gelatin, which cause the slippery character when they're sauteed. Start by adding salt over the mushrooms when you begin to saute them. After cooking them until tender, finish them with alcohol, like sherry. It's a solvent. This will take the sliminess off and into the pan. Then remove the mushrooms and reduce the sherry to a syrupy consistency. Pour it back over the mushrooms on the plate or meat that you're serving them on.
Also, chants are great for sauces. Do make sure to saute them first to take advantage of the sugars for flavor. Than add them to the sauce.

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.Made it back out today and found some more of the ones we were discussing, used Phone app called Seek and it narrowed down to Chanterelles but not the specific type. Here are some pics.
