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

Zuma:
Good on ya! Can you show and describe what type they are?
Thanks Zuma

Eric Krewson:
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.

Zuma:
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. >:D

Those look fantastic Eric. I just love me some Chanterelles.  -C- 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!  :)
