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

Somewhere between Spokane and Seattle :chuckle:
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

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!
