It is the season of the summer Chanterelle.
They are growing all over the forest floor.
The main problem is avoiding clouds of mosquitos that hang out in the weeds.
Down in the weeds I noticed a few other mushrooms like this massive bitter bolete.
This looks like a malformed white russula.
The gills cretainly look like that of a russula.
As for the chanterelle harvest I easily found 2 pounds worth of them.
They were all super fresh and had not been hollowed out by bugs yet.
Here is what they looked like before cleaning.
I ended up cooking another pizza with them.
I dried the rest for use later.
The dried ones ended up being powdered amd placed in a lamb meatloaf. The mushrooms really added a nice taste to the dish. The chanterelles should be out for another month or so, I just need to keep looking :-)
