How to find chanterelle mushrooms in BC

So I was walking along this road here, I walked by once, going that way, then going back, and then I came back again, and voila, chanterelles. So you can see one, you can see a finger, there's one here, one there, one there, one there, and then there, there, there, there, there, there, there, and all the colors. And that beautiful Pacific golden chanterelles. I love how chanterelles grow around varying sort of twigs and leaves and ferns that are in their surrounding. So cool. So the smell is like apricots, and a little bit like pumpkin-y or squash, or something like that. But yeah, they are so huge and wonderful. This is why you pick edible chanterelles, because they're just so exciting to find. It's like a treasure hunt, right? If you want to learn to find these and lots of other edible mushrooms, you should come with me on a wild foraging walk in Vancouver. You can check my website, Swallowtail.ca, if you want to come for a class sometime in the future. So as you can see, I didn't take them all, because I'm not that greedy. But that's how many I got today. Beautiful. So it goes to show you, walking along, doo-doo-doo, it's just, you know, mushrooms are wonderful. They just disguise themselves. Even though they're bright yellow and absolutely massive, they kind of blend into the leaves and debris, right? So I'm sneaking in over here, and just to see the size of that one. Like, look. It's just huge. Absolutely huge. Chanterelles are very easy to identify. You can see, especially when they're very mature, like this one, you can see that the cap margin is wavy, that the gills, which are kind of a fold or a wrinkle, are very blunt. They're not fine. And then at the margin, you have all these, like, little forks on the gill, which is really distinctive as well. This is my prize of the day. It is just one massive chanterelle. Golden chanterelles, crisping up in the fire.
