DID YOU KNOW? Jack O' Lanterns glow at night? Its pretty cool I hear. I havent had a night walk in ages. I love Chanterelle mushrooms. I am quite serious when I say this, but here in Tennessee the whole woods is covered with Chanterelles. I had a soup from them, on top of filling my freezer for winter soup and ones I was frying and baking, every single day from summer till end of fall last year. I didn't have to touch my freezer stash, which is really only good for soups after they are frozen, until whatever that winter season was. I ate my last Flame Chanterelles a week ago. Ready for this year. Ready for some rain. I literally had a patch, that walking a little on turned into six separate patches together, that I harvested from five times last year full size mushrooms. Golden and smooth Chanterelles mixed in with each other. I picked no less than fifty each time. No joke. Someone should go for a walk with me the locals don't go to the woods anymore. A month before that I had Flame Chanterelles out the wazoo. I even found a whole junk load of the Peach Chanterelles in one location lined on a mossy creek bank. I will shoot for a picture of that this year it was a sight. The Winter Chanterelles came out with the Hedgehog Mushrooms at the end of last year. I love mushrooms now, hunting them. I don't think there is one I haven't found. I thought I wouldn't find the winter ones because of the area I am in but I was shown I was wrong. Maybe there might be one or two that grow somewhere else, but I only know the southeast.
