Chanterelles 2023
« on: July 18, 2023, 05:20:51 AM »
I know it's early but has anyone found any yet?  I went out a couple days ago and didn't find any.  (Was really hoping for a couple of lobsters.)  But I was really surprised by the number of mushrooms I did find.  I have no idea what they were, but I found 5 or 6 different ones and about 50 total.  Sure hope we get some rain in the next few weeks.

I saw some last night...in a weird dream.  :chuckle: A little sprinkle would help. Maybe a week more.

Saw a scattering of other species up high this weekend. But, chanterelles are not happening in good numbers until we get more rain. Really hoping we don't have a repeat of last season!

Anyone finding any chanterelles or lobsters?  I will be out checking a few spots next week that I usually do really well in for lobsters.  And I might even get lucky and find me some chants.

Nicely done!
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

I actually found a new spot yesterday. Some had a white fungus growing on them but got about 4-5 decent ones! No bears tho :'(

With this rain and cooler weather there should be some popping. Found some Chicken of the Woods last weekend.

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:

I didn't make it over into Idaho. The kids wanted to dig rocks up on Teanaway so we spent the weekend over there. Pretty dry up there of course.

The last time I went out was on the 5th.  Found a few lobsters and hand full of chants.  I'm going to go look again on Wednesday or Thursday.

Can you eat those woolly chants? I seem to recall concerns about them but that has been a long time.

If they are good to eat I will be kicking myself as I found dozens if not hundreds of them up north of Spokane.

The Blues?  They say they are edible, never ate them myself.  Described as mild flavored cross between trumpets and chanterelles.  :dunno:

https://foragerchef.com/the-blue-clustering-chanterelle-polyozellus-multiplex/


Wollys - I see, the ones I called whites.  Thinking I may be crossed up.  Woolly's being different than whites.  Woolly = not good to eat.

Found these too.  Looks more like a White...?

I have been seeing a lot of Kings in the Mount Rainier area.  I have only ever harvested matsutake, so I am reluctant to take home anything else (call me a scaredy-cat).  But the Kings look just like those.

I know a bit but I'm no expert!  I don't eat any I find in the field hours from help. lol 
If you can confirm what you are finding are kings then you are golden.  They are pretty easy to identify.  If you decide to keep some be sure to cut the base of the stem and look for bugs.  The cut stem should be pure white without dark dots (bug channels).  Bugs love them.  You can always cut away bad sections.  Kings/Porcini are delicious!  The make cream sauces/stroganoffs extra savory.
