Hi Dean,
I don’t know much about Chanterelle mushrooms, I’ve heard great things about them and I would like to find a few when they start popping up. I’m wondering about what type of soil or enviroment they like and also what time do they start appering in the Bozeman or West Yellowstone area of Montana?
Thanks,
Jim
I’m also interested in the same thing. The only mushrooms I’ve ever hunted are morels. What kind of environment/weather conditions do I need to look for to hunt chanterelles?
Also, Dean, are you in Bozeman? I’m going to school there right now. Such a great area!
Thanks,
Teagan
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your response. Chanterelles are great eating and a real treat to find. They come up about this time of year. I will give some clues to finding them on the website.
thanks,
Dean
Hi Teagan,
Thank you for your response. Chanterelles are a great change from morels. They are slightly sweet and very tasty. I will give some hints on the site to finding them.
Yes, I live in Bozeman and it is a great area to live.
Thanks,
Dean
Hello Dean,
Total beginner here! Started hunting last spring and enjoyed the mushroom challenge. Found lots of oysters and even one morel. The latter was quite the challenge. Would love to try Chantrelles, but need any advice from the pros in the know. I live near Butte? any advice?
Thanks

Hello Fisk,
Thank you for your response.
This would be a tough year to learn Chanterelles. This fall has been fairly dry and they were few and far between. In good years it is much less frustrating to learn a mushroom.
The same goes for morels this spring. The oysters are reliable and a great mushroom. Learn to cook and preserve them, and you will always have wild mushrooms to eat.
Happy hunting, it isn’t over yet,
Dean
