Found a few chants and oysters while scouting this morning. Very welcomed find!
Rained out for work, so I went to look for shrooms. Found some really big ones. Tons of Chanterelles in another one of my honey holes today.

no, I pressure can them. We covered this last year. 
I will eat most of these, but I may can a few more if they start going downhill before I can eat them all.

How do you store them in the meantime for eating? Fridge or cool dry place?no, I pressure can them. We covered this last year.
I let dry for a day on the counter after washing, then into a 25lb meat lug with a lid and into refrigerator. I have kept them quite fresh like that for 10 days before they started to get soft and brown on the edges. When they get to that point I will can them immediately as the go downhill fast from their. I can eat a pound a day.

Just dehydrated and dry canned my last haul. Should be good for years to comeI let dry for a day on the counter, then into a 25lb meat lug with a lid and into refrigerator.

If you have never canned them, I would suggest you give it a try. It is the best way to preserve them, imo.

Just didn't have time this weekend. Already had the dehydrater loaded with tomatoes so I throwed what few I had left in there. Pressure canning is by far the way to go with about anything! We will be canning just about all of our deer meat this year.

One more quick trip today produced what I expected. Not many fresh, lots drying up. Sorry to say that Chanterelle season is winding down for me. 
still managed to scrounge up 4-5lbs. wort. Tonight I’m making Hank Shaws Chanterelle pasta.

Dang good day in the big woods this morning. BIG chanterelles, cinnabars, turkey feathers, and an 11lb stump blossom. I left the big chants for a buddy.
