Are Chanterelle out in Dresden yet?
Mushroom season in Dresden, Germany is building right now, with chanterelle sitting at 25% today. The typical season runs June to October, and we’re in October now
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.
The ridges under the cap are not true gills but blunt, branching false gills that run down the stem, a key feature separating it from look-alikes.
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.
Keep fresh in a paper bag in the fridge for up to a week, brushing off dirt rather than washing them wet. They do not dry as well as many mushrooms, so for longer keeping cook them first then freeze, or preserve in oil or by pickling.
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.
