Jack-o-lanterns aren't deadly, they'll just send you to the toilet with a lot of regret.

It looks like the chanterelle patch that I go to in the woods some 20 min from home. They keep showing up in the same spot every year.

Yes there are many species depending on the local area.

That sounds awesome. I've gotta try it.

Ok. Now I'm hungry.

I do this but I add cooked pasta in the pan sauce and eat it on the side of the steak, maybe with some lemon if the alcohol isn't acidic enough for my taste

I am in central interior BC and my area is pretty dry most of the time but wet when chanterelles should be coming up. I have asked around and even the more experienced foragers have had no luck but to be fair the population is small and other mushroom hunters are hard to find. I have heard of them being found about 100-200km north of me so they probably do grow here but maybe aren't as abundant as other places. I am still on the hunt for them, I am mostly whinging.
