Found chanterelle mushrooms y-day at my place

Was walking around the woods and was surprised to see the orange dots scattered across the ground.
Ended up picking up a pound of more of them.
Planning on cooking them tomorrow. Lemon garlic cream sauce over pasta.
ETA: was really surprised to see them this early. I never even thought to look for them this early.
Also, this was extreme north MS.

Let us know if you see pink elephants

My mom found some in st. Francisville this past weekend. It’s usually July-August that I find them.

What's the trick to getting all the grit out of them. I can't seem to get them clean.

My son brought a bag full of red chanterelles home from north Louisiana today. Gonna cook them up tomorrow.

From what I've seen on Facebook there have been a lot of folks finding them where I'm at in West Fel parish. I haven't been out to look for them yet. I usually don't try until the middle of June.

Where would one look to find them? Uplands or bottoms?

I submerge in water and gently agitate them. Drain water, repeat. You can't get it all but this gets most out.

I've found most in creek bottoms or lowland hardwood stands

We typically get a good flush around this time in south central MS. They’re excellent with just butter and garlic over a good ribeye, maybe my favorite mushroom.

Anywhere there is a decent layer of oak leaf litter away from direct sunlight. We find them under a stand of water oaks, about a 5ac area that changes dramatically in elevation, but they’re all over it.

Is there something about the elevation changes that attract them? The one stand I know of is on a steep slope. None on the flat part below the slope or above it.

I also clean with water, but first I use a soft bristled paint brush to brush away as much as I can with out damaging the mushrooms

I’m speculating but it seems like they need just the right amount of drainage, places where the leaf litter will hold some moisture but excess will run off. Rare to find them in the low spots where water can stand, but they will be on hilltops as long as they’re shaded.

As soon as it gets hot and rains a lot we get them here in Central Arkansas. The smooth chanterelles always pop first
I always trim the dirty part off the stem before I bag them and don't have a problem with grit. If it looks to dirty I won't bag it. Sorting and trimming while picking will save you a lot of time in the kitchen.

In the mountains I've noticed they pop in different elevations at different times.

Found some two weeks ago in SW MS. Was surprised to see them this early.

I saw them in the backyard the other day, and said it can’t be. Too early

Cooked them tonight. Did a chanterelle garlic cream sauce with capers over pasta.
It was delicious.

We just had our first sauted in butter 3 days ago. Always tell the family how fancy we are since the yuppies in the city pay 60 a pound or more for chanterelles lol
