| First Chanterelle of the year! |
Just as my friend Mary Jo predicted, two weeks after the first rains of the season we have mushrooms! Ashley and I found a couple of pounds of golden chanterelles yesterday, practically in our back yard! (ok, so we live on a 500 acre ranch, but these were just a short distance from the road!) We only just started to forage mushrooms last season, and are quite cautious about what we take home, not feeling like we know enough about these fungi to take any chances with possibly poisonous ones. We are, however, 100% confident in discerning chanterelles. We have both the golden and white varieties around here, and both are easy to identify and delicious!

Hello Beautiful!

We found these guys just starting to push through the leaf litter underneath a live oak on an east facing slope. I've learned that mushroom people need to know these details!

Last nights dinner? Chanterelle risotto and a big salad!
