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.
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.
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.
Jämtland is an inland province built around the great lake Storsjön, where rolling forested hills and river valleys rise westward into the bare alpine fells along the Norwegian border. Between the woods lie open bogs, mires and grazing pastures, with no coastline anywhere in the region. The land is dominated by boreal taiga of Norway spruce and Scots pine, mixed with birch and the mountain birch belt at higher elevations. Spruce stands, mossy pine heaths and damp birch woodland are the prime ground for chanterelles, boletes and other porcini-family mushrooms.
The climate is continental and subarctic, with long cold winters, short cool summers and a brief growing season. Rainfall comes mainly in late summer, and the moist, cool autumn nights suit fungi well even if the season is short. Foraging here means vast, lightly populated forest with generous space and the right to roam, though the harvest window is narrow and weather-dependent. Expect chanterelles and boletes in good years, with the best picking from August into a frost-shortened September.
