Answer 1

Here in Oregon, they are the only mushrooms that we pick. Lovely to eat. Nothing out there that looks quite like them if you slice them open. Start looking after the first rains in the fall.

Answer 2

Just make sure you don't pick the Jack o Lantern look alikes but Chantrelles are amazing fare.

Answer 3

They are so pretty.

Answer 4

I think, but do not hold me to it, that they were used in the following recipe -

"Not that I will ever prepare this but I was entranced by the ingredients, scenery and suit in this ..."

Answer 5

They're great though they do tend to be a little chewy. They are one of the safer mushrooms to pick and identify.

Answer 6

I have not gone mushroom hunting since I moved from the PNW. The old rule of thumb is there are only two types of mushroomers, old ones and bold ones. My last attempt at simply reading almost cost me a very upset stomach. One family has no known poisonous members, lycopodia, however there is a imitator that causes stomach distress. Always have someone that knows what they are looking at evaluate the actual mushrooms. Pick 5-10 and have them evaluated.
