Mushroom season is underway - despite all the rain we have had, the chanterelle season is lagging about six weeks behind last year's season. Last year I was harvesting 40-60 pounds of mushrooms/week by this time of year! This year - I'm lucky to come out with 4-6 pounds. Most of the chanterelles are closer to the edge of any given stand of trees where they get a bit more warmth, quite a few buttons.
Lots of other foragers are finding bonanzas in other areas but - being the creature that they are - they aren't giving up the information on where they are finding stuff! Hoping to head out to Salt Point State Park next week to look for black trumpets, hedgehogs, maybe some late porcini and other good stuff. Mushroom reports & pictures coming soon! I've sprayed my shoes & rain jacket with Scotch Guard just to be ready! Maybe I should go do my hat, too...
