Title: Chanterelle's??
Post by: mmullins on October 04, 2011, 06:31:44 PM: Was thinking about taking the family mushroom picking this weekend. Its been a few weeks sense i have been out. Wondering how the mushrooms were looking this year. I only seen a few out archery elk, but it wasnt a prime spot for chanterelle's.

(chanterelle) just sayin'... :chuckle:

They are doing great in the 200-500 foot range. Found quite a few a week ago and the rain/warm temps should have them growing pretty much everywhere right now.
