Mushroom picking, chanterelle, boletus, white mushroom
As my mother is over visiting I thought it might be a nice idea to take the canoe to Elk Island.
We packed the canoe on the roof of the Jeep and drove to the boat launch across from the island.
One problem you have with Chanterelle is that they tend to have their fins stuck full of sand grains. Though a very tasty mushroom, this sometimes turns people off from picking and cooking them.
Chanterelle. Unlike other mushrooms Chanterelle are easy to recognise. They are bright yellow, and grow in a funnel shape.
A good place to go Chanterelle picking is Elk Island this time of year.
