Fruits in warm, humid weather a week or two after steady summer rain, typically when soil stays moist and temperatures sit around 15 to 20 C. A wet spell breaking a dry period often brings a flush.
Grows on the ground in deciduous and coniferous woodland, in a mycorrhizal partnership with trees such as oak, beech, birch and pine. It often appears in mossy ground, on banks and along path edges, frequently coming back in the same spots year after year.
Pan-fry in butter with a little garlic and parsley as a side or on toast, letting them release and reabsorb their own moisture. They also work well folded into scrambled eggs or an omelette, or simmered briefly in a cream sauce for pasta or chicken.
The main dangerous lookalike is the Jack o’lantern (Omphalotus illudens, and the European Omphalotus olearius), which is toxic and causes severe sickness; it grows in clumps on wood or stumps and has true sharp gills rather than blunt forked ridges. The false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) is also confused with it but has thinner, true gills and a more orange colour, and is best avoided.
Aube spreads across the chalk plains of southern Champagne, drained by the Seine and its tributary the Aube. The dry, open Champagne crayeuse dominates the west, while the low, clay-rich Champagne humide of the east is studded with the great reservoir lakes of the Foret d’Orient. Limestone hills rise in the Cote des Bar to the south-east. The eastern Foret d’Orient and the Foret d’Othe on the western plateau are broad oak-and-hornbeam woods, mixed with beech and, on the thin chalk soils, plantations of Scots pine. Damp Champagne humide adds alder and ash along the lakeshores and slow rivers, giving varied, humus-rich ground for fungi.
Aube has a semi-continental climate, transitional between oceanic and continental, with cold winters, warm summers and moderate rainfall near 700 mm. The reservoir lakes and clay soils of the east hold moisture, so damp autumns after the September rains open a long and reliable mushroom season. Autumn is the main season: oak and beech stands yield ceps (porcini), chanterelles, hedgehog mushrooms and black trumpets, while the chalk pine plantations add milk caps and boletes. Chalk grasslands give field mushrooms and parasols, and the limestone Cote des Bar even hides truffles; river valleys bring morels in spring.
