The first time I was invited to pick the Wild Elusive Chanterelle we got up early and drove about 85 miles. Now granted we each picked alot of them.

However, this year I have found them in second growth less than 200 yards from my back door. As well as second growth in the Coyle unit. After finding them in basically my backyard, I have knocked on a few doors and recieved permission to check about another 20 acres of second growth that is very near by as well. No point in pissing off the neighbors.

For the backyard mushroom grower/harvester check out Puget Sound Exotic. They sell spores for alot of different varities, I am attempting to produce some Shitake and some Pearl Oyster at this time.

I am looking for the pickled mushroom recipe
