You shouldn't pull them up like that, it ruins the mycelium below. Cut them at the base with a knife. Are you sure on the id? I can't tell from the pile of picked ones, but the tops of the caps look strange. RR

Yeah, as long as the gills look like veins, you should be okay.
Damn looks like a lot there!

I can only say, " trust me, they are chants". That aside,they were very soggy from the recent rain which may or may not have affected they're appearance but we go to the same place every year(and have been picking them incorrectly thanks to the info from RR) and enjoying their deliciousness. We always make sure to leave plenty for subsequent generations of chants. There were still plenty to be picked but we had all we needed and left the rest for some other lucky hunters. I hate the prospect that we may be moving back to the east coast....AARRRRRGGGGGH!!!!!

Looks like some of them are rotting there. It could just be the picture making it seem that way though
That's a lot to have to clean too, that whole pile of them looks like they are all dirty or something

There was actually a study done on this, and it found that the method of harvest (pulling vs. cutting vs. no harvest) made no difference in the number of chanterelles produced. The theoretical reason to avoid cutting is that it leaves a small, wounded fragment of mushroom available as a place for disease to enter the organism. It was also found that harvesting mushrooms didn't increase or decrease the total number produced by each patch.
Happy mushrooming!

At the last Mycology meeting I attended, I cleaned off a bunch of chants. Most were the usual trumpet shape, but one looked like a huge balled up knot, much larger than the normal ones. I asked the man who harvested them about the cause of the deformation and he said he wasn't sure, though he has found both phenotypes on many ocassions, and that he found that the gnarled mutant chants were usually growing at the base of a tree, as opposed to the small normal chants which were growing in the open on the forest floor.
ToxicMan, which species were tested in the study???

I also read of a study where picking certain mushrooms (w/o cutting) actually stimulated growth.

I want 5 lbs. of chanterelles!!! Nice finds. I've got a friend in Sandy and we went for a walk in the woods behind his yard. Didn't find anything interesting though.

Darn. I was hoping it would have covered a number of different species. But I guess that is a lot of time and effort.

Cool! very nice job. even though picking it like that might stimulate growth, cleaning off the dirt is a tedious job. It's gross when you get a crunchy little piece of dirt when you're chewing them.
