I hadn’t planned on visiting a forest today, since we haven’t had rain in a while and I thought there wouldn’t be many mushrooms around. However, the dogs seemed to have the idea that on weekends I’m supposed to take them for a walk in the woods. They were all excited this morning, so I decided to take them to the woods for an hour walk before the day heated up.
We didn’t go to the usual spots, instead opting for a nice forest about 3/4 of the way up. (Salvelinas, for your benefit, it’s the forest where we find the hedgehogs). It was quite dry in the forest, so imagine my surprise when I quickly found a fistful of chanterelles. We walked around for an hour or so, but that one patch was all that we could come up with. Still, considering I expected nothing more than a little exercise in the company of my dogs, I’m pleasantly surprised.

What luck!
They were a tasty treat!
They look delicious and I would not even be afraid to give them a try. All I need is an invitation…
Next time I make it out to Alberta to chase trout, I’ll make time to go mushroom picking…
That photo is gorgeous.
Thanks LM. The chanties are sitting on my messenger bag on the hood of my car.
