Searching for chanterelles, nature's edible gold.
Like morels, chanterelles have a symbiotic relationship with trees and cannot be cultivated commercially. They must be foraged in the wild, handled gently, and consumed quickly. This is why they come at a high price.
In anticipation of these delicate, golden mushrooms, I'd been following the weather radar for a few weeks, waiting for a heavy downpour to alleviate our dry streak. Finally, after a few days of substantial rain, the moment was right. I drove to a national forest an hour away from home, carrying with me a backpack for water, a pocket knife, and a mesh bag for collecting. There was no one else on the trail, and I lost cell service.
Before harvesting, it's crucial to identify mushrooms with 100 percent certainty, so not to mistake them for a toxic lookalike. Typically, I refer to aco-written by David Lewis, a renowned Mycologist in the Gulf Coast region where I live. I ran through a checklist: Was it growing on live or dead wood? No, chanterelles always grow on the ground. Did it have true gills? No, the underside of the cap should have “false gills,” or blunt ridges running down and onto the stem.
