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 mixed and conifer woods, in mycorrhizal partnership with oak, beech, birch, pine and spruce. Favours mossy banks, acidic well-drained soil, and often appears along path edges and on sloping ground.
Summer to autumn, typically June or July through to October.
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.
