2025 Shrooms

It is still early, but I got some nice ones today from the usual patches on my place and left behind a boatload of little ones.

I was not surprised to find some, but I was very surprised by how many there were and how well grown they were. I walked these spots 10 days ago and there was no sign of golden life in the duff. I hope this is some indication of what's to come in the next month or so. Could be a banner year for Chanterelles. I ate some with dinner tonight and they were fantastic.
 
Bummer. I have noticed in the last few years that in some of my spots I habitually find them early at the end of June to first part of July, some are reliably right on schedule in mid July to early August and some are habitually later in mid to late August. I have no idea why, but my earliest reliable spot and latest one is only a few hundred yards apart.
