Eric uncovered a very gnarly, deformed looking chanterelle - probably the result of the mushroom having to push up through ground that was drying faster than it could grow and push out of the earth.

Chanterelles, 2009
Naysayers be damned! Despite a slow start to the season due to unseasonably dry weather, Eric, Veronica, James and I trudged around our favorite Oakland Hills spot this morning - it was Veronica's 5th mushroom outing - and found about 10# of golden chanterelles, a few random non-edibles and were home by noon.

I look forward to seeing your mushroom pictures, Jenn. That's one thing I never felt really confident about doing on my own — foraging for mushrooms. But what a treat they are when you know what to look for!
Hi Jenn, Chanterelles are one of my favorites! Can't wait to see your pics... we still have a few months before this snow melts and we start to see any mushrooms.:(
