How To Find Chanterelle Mushrooms

How to find chanterelle mushrooms. During late summer and throughout the fall, chanterelles are really starting to pop up everywhere in the woodlands. They grow in established conifer forests with tall firs where the grounds are covered with a mixture of sword fern, moss, salad, and decaying fir needles. There are a lot of Facebook mushroom groups you can join. In these groups, members will post their finds of various mushrooms, locations, elevations, and the season. Buy a good mushroom identification book so that you can confidently identify each species. Good luck mushroom hunting.

If you're curious what the other mushrooms are at 2:28 : #1 is in the Laccaria genus, probably Laccaria bicolor but could be laccata. #3 is very likely to be something in the Lactarius deliciosus group, but I'd need to cut the gills to be sure.

@@masamunesword I'm not very familiar with the false chanterelles. Thank you for sharing the information

Are you picking for personal use or commercial? How much are you able to take with you?

[@beesoung]

@@pavue1984 We only pick for personal use. Depending on the area, some go by gallon and some by pound. The area we went they allow 10 gallons per person. You can check the area before you go. Some may require a forest product harvest permit which you can get it online

We just started 2 years ago and consider ourselves newbies. We learn as we go. It's a fun activity and the nutrition benefits from the mushrooms is a plus. Thank you.
