I took a stroll around my place this afternoon, the chanterelles were up everywhere.

They are chanterelle mushrooms, they come up in June or July usually under oak trees. There is one poison mushroom called a Jack-a-Lantern that has the same color but has orange flesh and gills on the underside. Chanterelles have false gills that are small and split into a fork, smooth chanterelles have no gills.

This video is about them. There are countless chanterelle videos on you tube.

Thanks Eric, We usually get the Chicken of the woods. But that is in the fall here.
I thought I hit it big with a huge Jack one day. I showed my buddy and he said
this is your lucky day , unless you already ate some of that bad boy.

Those look fantastic Eric. I just love me some Chanterelles.

They're still quite small around here.

It's funny cause I find them under spruce, oak and beech. The ones that grow with spruce come up earlier and always are devoured by bugs. The oak/beech variety come up later and are almost always bug free.

You got me excited to go out hunting. Thank you sir!
