I have been bringing some home the past couple weeks as well. I like them in sauces mostly as they do not have a strong flavor in my opinion. Whenever it is muggy and I am sweating outside, I know it is time to hunt chanterelle.

    Funny. I think they have one of the strongest non-mushroom tastes. You know how most mushrooms taste mainly like mushroom with a sprinkle of another taste added? Chanterelles are the other way around. They taste a little bit like mushrooms but mostly like chanterelles.

    I love to cook them in butter, salt, and pepper.

    I think there's a good bit of variation in flavor by region and species. The small smooth chanterelles have more of the general earthy mushroom flavor, the flavolateritius ones that have more of a curtains shape are very nutty and meaty with very little earthy taste, and the Appalachian chanterelles are even a little bit spicy. Those are the ones I find in my area, anyway.
