We started out to pick blueberries but ended up harvesting mushrooms. En route to our blueberry patch behind our house we found a bumper crop of chanterelle mushrooms.
Chanterelles are a highly prized gourmet mushroom that can't be grown commercially but grows wild on our property.

The continuous rain and warm weather this summer has produced a bumper crop of Chanterelles.
A lot of the Chanterelles in this patch were waterlogged from all the rain. I picked some of the better mushrooms. I found lots of mushroom ""buttons" starting to emerge and will stop back in a couple of days to pick from a fresh crop.
After some cleaning and a light rinse these Chanterelles are ready to fry and freeze.
