You had me at, ‘Chanterelles...’ LOL!
One of my BILs is a total Mushroom Hunter. He’s turned us on to so much good stuff growing in our woods.
Is there anything a Mushroom cannot add to a delicious meal?
I think not! :)
Some of the locals have a thing for matsutakes...pine mushrooms. I think its based mostly on their high-dollar value. I find them to be bland, with some sand thrown in. Chanterelles can be had by the 5 gallon bucket, with a little effort. The coastal rainforest provides lots of opportunities to find edible fungi.
