After several years of scouring the woods behind my house I am starting to find the spots for the specimens at last. The hericium keeps coming back in relatively small quantities year after year, but this is the first chanterelle haul so far, and there were many (more than pictured). Beauties.
Yeah, done some of that with other mushrooms but probably not as much as I should have. The forest is mostly maple, which doesn’t seem to be the preferred tree for a lot of mushrooms. There’s a decent amount of beech too, which is better, but all the old ones are dying unfortunately. Anyway now that I know there’s chanterelles actually growing here I’m gonna fling these spores everywhere.
Chanterelles are such a good haul. I’m hoping to find some this weekend if not porcinis.
