Here is the link to my free online Tree ID Basics class! feralforaging.com/event/tree-identification-basics-online-class/ Tree ID is a must-have skill for all foragers and naturalists! It sets a strong foundation for scouting, ecology recognition, and more. Be aware that the oak association of Chanterelles is primarily relevant for Chants in Eastern North America. You get different associations like conifers in the Rockies and Western North America. You can follow my friend, @foragecolorado, for more information on those species! Have you found a lot of chanterelles this year? It’s been fantastic here in North Alabama!
Most years I only find a handful of Chants. This year has been a bumper crop in Utah. I'm hoping the mycelium network grow bigger for next years flush.
I hear so much about chanterelles liking oaks and I’m shocked I haven’t found more in NJ. In more northern climates though under white pines you can find plenty.
Oh my goodness, I find these mushrooms ALL the time in the swamp because of those trees.And at first I was a little iffy about wether to cook it or not since at the time when I saw bright wild bright colored life out in the wild, the first thing to pop into my mind was ‘poisonous’. But your videos have truly helped me to understand the wild more and to tell the differences! 😊
I just discorvered yesterday that my yard has 2 patches of red chanterelles and a yellow chanterelle that i didnt identify the exact species bc it was too rotted to eat but apparently my town is insane with red chanterelles because theyre everywhere here
Yes, look up before you look down. Over here in the Rockies we get rainbow chanterelles, (Cantharellus roseocanus). They have a mycorrhizal relationship with subalpine trees. When specifically looking for Chants I'll look up first so I'll know which way to go. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
WOW, what a find! That's freak'n amazing! Such a delicious gourmet mushroom. They taste heavenly. I've never seen anything like this, I'm SHOCKED! 🥰😍👨🍳
Sorry... After that first sentence I had to pause it for a minute. 😳🤭 I just kept scrolling. I don't want to get depressed. Last time I saw a honey hole was summer of 2019.
Had a bunch pop up near me and had no clue what they were ( still new to this sorry guys!) But to some pictures and my patch was very similar to yours, little damp, lightly opened sun canopy, and leaf/ lawn clippings. Oh yeah and surrounded by oaks in beech! Soon after found your videos and have been none stop identifying this stuff!
Saute in butter and salt - it tastes just like bacon! Then toss it in with creamy pasta sauce like fettucinne alfredo. Add to eggs or anything else that could be a bacon substitute. Saute some chanterelles and put it in with stuffed pepper ingredients! Lastly, saute some in butter, soy sauce and siracha. Eat it on top of a burger patty. Wild mushrooms are so much fun to experiment with in the kitchen! Enjoy!!
Where I live there are no oaks, the only hardwood is alder. there are spruces, hemlock, red and yellow cedar. And I find chantarelles. do they associate with any of those trees?
I’m in the PNW I went out yesterday, we got a lot for most of the day. So we are heading out and decided to check an area for future foraging, well the sun was setting and from my experience the lack of direct light make them almost glow and they just stand out. Anyways we do a quick scout, we found 4X what we picked all day in 15-20 minutes. Now I need to process close to 50lbs!!
No shit. Hes right. Ive been fortunate to find more chanterelles than i can physically pick. Hardly anyone knows what they are. So i dry alot. The hen of the woods is super present on our white oak spots. Soo good. But these woods are decreasing in morels, but picking up everywhere else?
I was lucky lol, parents bought a property and it happens to have loads of chanterelles. Probably have 5-6 spots like that within a half a square mile.
So wierd how what we both call chanterelles can be so much different. Here in northern California I pretty much only find the California golden chanterelle which grow with Douglas fir trees and western hemlock. They grow in much smaller patches or solitarily but are largers and look tougher and meatier than those.
A key feature for chanterelles is that their gills are decurrent, or running down the stem. But not the same as an oyster mushroom, which grows on dead/dying wood. Usually that means oysters aren't found with stems in the center, right up out of the ground.
I have some tiny orange mushrooms that dry hard but when it rains they grow there really tiny and have been in the same spot for about a year there really soft and don't like safe lol
My property which I've owned over 20 years is loaded with oaks and hickory trees but, I've never seen one chanterelle. Oh, and my yard is over an acre and unmowed because I leave it natural for wildlife.
Your trees may be too young or perhaps it's been logged? Mushrooms like to grow on dying or dead trees (that may or may not be buried or have roots that are closer to the surface).
@@BonaFideWildLife No logging and the trees are huge and much taller than my house. If they like dead, fallen trees, I should check the fallen trees in my backyard and in the tree lines. Thanks.
If you want to grow wine caps, you must prepare bed in feild of raspberry, it grows below short trees, after rainfall check it. Grow and teach it. Jay Bharat.
How do I start one of these ethically in a moderately controlled manner? I want some for myself but I don’t have access to these mushrooms where I live
They have mushroom grow kits for like 20-40$. Unfortunately chanterelles are practically impossible to cultivate, the only few examples are done in a lab after like 900 failed attempts and chanterelles pickers who burry their leftovers for years and years in the same spot that happens to have good conditions.
??? I live in central florida zone 9-A/B…Has anybody ever inoculated their property with Chanterelle spores?…I have a good spot between two oaks with lots of good soil and leaf litter..Tons of earthworms etc. Would love to add this to my mini food forest
Those are Chanterelles! So beautiful! Be careful not to mistake them for Jack O' Lantern Mushrooms. They look very similar. Cutting them in half helps to tell them apart. Those look too yellow to be those dreadful Jack O' Lanterns.
Personally, i just go out on my property if i want to find these and quite a few other mushroom species (depending on the time of year). lots of other wild edible flora and fawna as well. Eat em every year 😚

haha as I was watching this I started to google "how to find an oak tree".
I hope you froze some, to eat later
I have found they love Hickory just as much as oak.
Happy foraging and mush love
Most years I only find a handful of Chants. This year has been a bumper crop in Utah. I'm hoping the mycelium network grow bigger for next years flush.
OMG I AM SO JEALOUS RIGHT NOW!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU MY FRIEND
He is just here to make us jealous. At least probably you live in the US just like him so he can FedEx you a sample.... 😞😞
No need to yell tho.
I hear so much about chanterelles liking oaks and I’m shocked I haven’t found more in NJ. In more northern climates though under white pines you can find plenty.
What a find! I see this is from 2023... can we still access your class online?
Honestly I love nature and foraging and he just motivates me even more.

I wish that there was a channel like this, but for my neck of the woods. I live in Maine, and I would quite enjoy being able to forage mushrooms here.
A lot of what I cover overlaps with Maine!
I learn a lot from him and I live in Spain. 😅
@@FeralForagingwhat State do you usually pick from? It appears to me to be a more wet biome.
There is an east coast forager channel but I forgot the guys name. He made a document that lists when everything is in season.
Wow I just found a 1/2 mile forest full🎉 my first time ever thanks for the video I was second guessing my luck until I seen your patch too🎉🎉🎉
Wow! That is exactly the outcome that I hope for with my videos. Congrats. :D If you'd like, you can share your finds on our Discord too!
I love this guy!
Thanks for this excellent info! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
thanks been looking and no luck yet...... oaks here I come
WOW, what a find! That's freak'n amazing! Such a delicious gourmet mushroom. They taste heavenly. I've never seen anything like this, I'm SHOCKED! 🥰😍👨🍳
What is the taste?
i did my Junior paper on how Mycorrhizal Fungi are important to ecosystems, and this just brought me back to it XD
Awesome!
Wow!!!!!! Worth their weight in gold right there I have never found a flush this big before
Thanks for sharing. We live in SE Louisiana and we have an plenty of Oaks down here. Also we've found near the sides of our bayous.
Lowland/ bog oak is pretty unusual right? Usually they're dominated by cypress/cedar, balsam Birch, pine, and maple along the edge?
Can't wait to pick those with Gatherer and Botanist perks
Handsome fella
You lucky sob thats awesome yo
THATS A LOT OF CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS 🍄 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
AWESOME ❤❤❤
Sorry... After that first sentence I had to pause it for a minute. 😳🤭 I just kept scrolling. I don't want to get depressed. Last time I saw a honey hole was summer of 2019.
I just saw this, will you be offering any other free courses? BTW, love your videos!
Yes of course! You can also see a recording of the video. check my community posts for a link!
I’ve only ever found honey mushrooms and the squirrels had got to them before I could 😂
Wow. Just wow.
Help please! I have mushrooms growing in my front yard that look like chanterelles - how do I ID them to be sure???
I have these in my woods bright, orange, oak maple and American hickory I have to look this up big patches any suggestions?lol great video. Thank you
Had a bunch pop up near me and had no clue what they were ( still new to this sorry guys!)

Really awesome!
Few people get to see heaven and get to film it. Awesome find!
I wish you would share preparing and eating

Careful breaking the chanterelle fence. Mulgarath might cross over
Exblane!!
(Explane)
Nice! i find cinnabar chantrells near beech and oaks
You should go to Poland ! We love to Pick wild mushrooms there ❤️
Interesting. In Northern Europe it's birch trees the chantarells love 🤔
Dang brother!! Congrats on your chanterelle jackpot.
Did you by a chance record that “free online tree identification class”? I missed it live 😕
I did! You can get a recording sent to you here - feralforaging.com/tree-id-basics-recording

These grow right in my back yard in the middle of town. We have 76 trees on our half acre and these grow near a pair of pin oak and three pecan trees.
No shit. Hes right. Ive been fortunate to find more chanterelles than i can physically pick. Hardly anyone knows what they are. So i dry alot. The hen of the woods is super present on our white oak spots. Soo good. But these woods are decreasing in morels, but picking up everywhere else?
Holy woooooow 😍😍😍
Should u pick them all or you need to left some so they grow back?
Either is fine
Dude....
That’s amazing. I’ve never found a patch that big. Score! I’m super jealous.
Found my PB of chicken today though!
What state??
Probably a different kinda of chanterelle. I pick California chanterelles and they tend to be solitary but large
holy shit. I gotta go get in the woods.
right all the free food
Holy What?
MY FRIEND AWESOME!!!!!! ❤
Up here in the Highlands there are so many this time of year that we get sick of them. It looks like this in many of the forests I forage.
We don't have oak trees here, but oh boy, are they abundant
I find them all the time. What are they used for?
They are SO tasty fried up with butter! I’ve even made ice cream with them (surprisingly good)
I've got a spot. Every summer. All over the ground. Everywhere.
I was lucky lol, parents bought a property and it happens to have loads of chanterelles. Probably have 5-6 spots like that within a half a square mile.
Amazing!
"That's what SHE said!" 😆😆😆
😳
So cool! The only mushrooms i ever find aren't edible. 🙄
So cool!
so dope
Amazing

Holy chanterelles Batman!!
Birch too
😊me see its happy
Weird, in Estonia we find chanterelles where there are pine and spruce trees
Except for us in SW Washington, I find them under firs.
It works wonders with Chestnut trees too
I remember seeing an orange-yellow mushroom that had a cap, and thought it was a death cap family
Could have been Amanita
@@FeralForaging You said that most Amanita mushrooms are poisonous

Kind of, but important to state that Chanterelles don't have true gills if they have them at all.
i went to an old church from the 1700s yesturday, big oak trees and i walked apon a chanterelle group
I've found plenty of chanterelle patches that are huge like that, always an awesome feeling and a full stomach xD
Yeah oak and birch are good for chanterelles
Do these grow in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
I have some tiny orange mushrooms that dry hard but when it rains they grow there really tiny and have been in the same spot for about a year there really soft and don't like safe lol
How about in the Northwest ? Any particular species of Evergreen ?
Check out @orionaon for his videos which are closer to that region!
Fir
Wow!!!
I’m in SW Colorado and we don’t have talk oaks like that, rather a lot of bramble oak. Do you think it would still be the same chanterelle haven?
My friend Orion Aon is a good resource for Colorado foraging! (He's on YT)
Our chanterelle in East Europe grows mostly around pine.
Douglas fir to be specific
@@CharlieYdade What? Douglas fir is not native to Europe. It's predominantly Picea abies and Abies alba where I live.
Oh my goodness! 😮😮😮

Chanterelles here grow near Pine and Fir - can this be?
Are these in Alabama?
Sure are!
Yes I just found 8+ Acres of them in Southern Mississippi
Where are you located in United States?
If you want to grow wine caps, you must prepare bed in feild of raspberry, it grows below short trees, after rainfall check it.
Grow and teach it.

Chanterelles are potentially the single most desirable mushroom on earth, why take such effort to grow a lesser mushroom?
How do I start one of these ethically in a moderately controlled manner? I want some for myself but I don’t have access to these mushrooms where I live

I've picked for more than 30 years I know about those mushrooms
Awesome! I just published a new video where I was looking for chanterelles. This makes my spots look really poor 😂
What state is this in ?
🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤
😊💐😊
“My honey hole is absolutely overflowing with honey right now”
Me to spouse: “That’s what she said!” I won today’s round of our game, so thank you😁
I missed it!
We have chanterelles in western Washington but we don't have any Oaks
What state are you in?
I've found giant patches like that under redwood and fir trees in northern California. Not a hardwood for miles
Yes, depends on region
@@redeyestones3738 in the pinned comment
@@FeralForaging what's that mean?
@FeralForaging oh, I see. Sorry. I'm old.
It would be Douglas fir in PNW
Mine were a lot but god you have even more than i had in spring
They also love birch trees
Love?

My area they seem to like Beech trees.
Can they be purple?
