Usually find mine within close proximity to bitchn' camaros.... actually for a short time that was literally true... thankfully that guy moved.
I'll second what coon said, oak trees rock for all kinds of mushrooms.

White oak and Beech here. Beech typically hosts C. appalachiensis, which is more fragile and short lived than C. lateritius or cibarius.
I wouldn't bother looking for chanties around morel habitat. The trees that morels like are usually at the bottom of the ravine. The trees that chanties like are at the top of the hill. Also when looking for oak, check the ground for acorns or leaves and then look way way way up, because oaks are canopy trees, sometimes from the ground you can't see their crown unless you strain.

And always look more moss. Usually, if I don't see moss, I won't find anything.

Interesting. Here in Colorado I find most of my Chanterelles under Lodgepole Pine. At higher altitudes I find them under mixed Blue or Engelmann Spruce and Subalpine Fir.
Happy mushrooming!

Where you find chanterelles in large numbers depends totally on what part of the country you are in. Where I grew up in Ohio chants were only found around the red oaks in our area. I now live in northern washington state in the cascade mountain range, and I find pounds upon pounds of chants under second growth, douglas fir trees ONLY. When I find this exact micro climate, without any other mix of tree, the little golden spots start popping right out of the moss. So the first question when concearning chant locations, is what part of the country do you live in?

Agreed, but here in West Virginia, you can find them under pines on occasion. Near or at the top of mountains. I recently moved back here from Alaska and I haven't had any luck finding morels but I've found basketfuls of different types of chanterelles, appalachians, cinnabars(really good eating), smalls(cantharellus minor), and even a few dozen goldens.

around here they only grow on the sunny side of creek beds, they seem to like lil shaddy spots that tend to get direct sun at high noon. also I've never seen chant's around here under any sort of hardwood, always in the more coniferous ecosystems.
