Chanterelle Mushrooms

A few years ago I started looking for Morel mushrooms but didn't find too many in this area so I started looking for other edible mushrooms and soon found a couple of patches of Chanterelle mushrooms growing near our house. For many years I just mowed over these mushrooms and then found out Chanterelle mushrooms taste great. Two years ago we had a bumper crop but last year was dry and we didn't get any Chanterelle mushrooms. We've had some heavy rain in the past weeks and I've only found a couple of these mushrooms so far...



After a close inspection of our Chanterelle "hot spots" we may be in luck this year. I have found lots of very small Chanterelles just breaking through the ground.
