Chanterelles season off to a good start.

It was almost six months ago that the last wild mushrooms such as Yellow Leg Chanterelles also called Winter Chanterelles disappeared. This year's season of the first edible mushrooms like the St George's Mushroom, which usually grows around the end of April (23rd April is St George's Day) started very slowly due to the weather.
But now with rising temperatures and plenty of rain, the first Summer Chanterelles have started to poke their heads through the forest floor.


These mushrooms are highly prized, very versatile and absolutely delicious.
