I sure thought we would do better than we did. Now mine are all gone again. I'll be looking hard next week to fill jars.

Have you tried eating them yet? I think they are pretty good, but they get a bad rap like Pheasant Backs.
@Mike and @Redhunter1012 said there was a bunch in my woods. Anyone is welcome to them. I haven't looked and don't care to look. Have them all.

My daughter and I went out this morning for an hour or so. Gathered up enough chants for a solid family meal. It was fun and I have to thank Jamie for providing the inspiration to look for them.

Along with the chants I'm seeing a lot of these yellow ones. I'm trying to ID them. Maybe a lactarious type. I need to look at them more closely & do a spore print & see if they ooze any lactose. Are you guys seeing them or know what they are?

@Mike and I found some and I'D them on Google image search. They weren't poisonous but weren't a choice edible iirc
No I haven’t. The review I saw on the taste of BSP wasn’t that good but I have not tried them myself.
Pretty nice day to be in the woods today. My best spot producing again. There are not as many as this time last year, but the more I look, the more it seems they are just now getting going good in my spots. We got some really nice big meaty Chanterelles today. Some small wimpy ones, too.
This is about half of what is in the buckets and box. I'm tired of cleaning mushrooms for today. Good kind of tired.

Rick, the smaller one in this pic is about the biggest we got last week, and maybe just a little smaller than an average Chanterelle. The one on the right is demonstrative of how big they can get. We got some jumbo's today. Teaspoon in pic for size reference.

It is getting crazy out there. More & more patches showing up. I saw this close to one of the patches today. Is this a mutant chant? I've never seen anything like this. Thick & heavy.

Yes, & I sliced it up. Indeed a chanterelle. Never saw one like that. Time to start stocking up the freezer with some.
Went to a different honey hole today. We found some nice size Chant's, but they were all a little pale in color and beginning to get dry around the edges. Did not get half of what I got there in one trip last year at this time. Shaping up to be not as good this year. We need some serious rain in central Ohio very soon or I don't think there will be much more Chanterelles up around here. We also found some really nice fresh Chickens as a welcome bonus. Fried chicken of the woods for dinner tonight with a side of sauteed Chanterelles.
14 pints I canned yesterday from what we gathered on Monday at the top of pic.
