Ours start popping right at the beginning of August and though it wasn't a bumper crop, they were there. <br /><br />My chanterelles and black trumpets however were very scarce and I've yet to find a chicken mushroom, which is odd.

I used to start looking for chanterelles the first or second week in August, but in the last few years of historic warm spring and summer temps, I now go out the first week in July. A Wisconsin forager told me he found them 45 days earlier this year than ever before! We had a freakishly hot March, and that set the tone for the whole season.

In Connecticut, they are sold dried at Whole Foods for $99/pound. I laughed when I saw them with another bulk jar of black trumpets for $95/pound.<br /><br />It is difficult to find them here before they are bug filled.The 3 Foragershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095365543705594358noreply@blogger.com
