  Looks like Cantharellus lateritius. Very tasty.

      Yes there are many species depending on the local area.

  What do you do with these?

    Fry them in butter and eat them on toast.

      That sounds awesome. I've gotta try it.

    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!

      I do this but I add cooked pasta in the pan sauce and eat it on the side of the steak, maybe with some lemon if the alcohol isn’t acidic enough for my taste

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

    Here the season started recently. I picked 2 kilos yesterday!

    In the eastern US July is the normal season for them. Also in the Rockies I believe.

  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.

  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.

      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.
