I’m getting a spore print now, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have a lot more in a few days. I’ll keep the updates coming.
BTW, jackpot! Chanterelles in your own yard!

though these are chanterelles, a deadly look-a-like to rule out are jack-o-lantern mushrooms (named because they glow in the dark!)
Jack-o-lanterns aren’t deadly, they’ll just send you to thee toilet with a lot of regret.
Thank you, it’s hard to see but i have many little orange pins popping up and it’s been raining.
It looks like the chanterelle patch that I go to in the woods some 20 min from home. They keep showing up in the same spot every year.
Looks like Cantharellus lateritius. Very tasty.
What do you do with these?
Or cook a nice steak and deglaze the frying pan with it, sauté them in butter with salt, pepper and a bit of cognac, use it as dressing for the steak. Delicious!
Ok. Now I'm hungry.
Fry them in butter and eat them on toast.
That sounds awesome. I've gotta try it.
Nice, wish these came up in my area.
Are you somewhere arid? I think chanterelles are found in basically all wooded regions of the northern hemisphere.
I am in central interior BC and my area is pretty dry most of the time but wet when chanterelles should be coming up. I have asked around and even the more experienced foragers have had no luck but to be fair the population is small and other mushroom hunters are hard to find. I have heard of them being found about 100-200km north of me so they probably do grow here but maybe aren’t as abundant as other places. I am still on the hunt for them, I am mostly whinging.

What elevation are you at? Seems crazy to find chanterelles in July
