MattVa Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 This spot along my in-laws driveway has been a good reference in the past and I walk past it almost daily. It also had a few pop this time last year. I don't expect much yet but it's still nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattVa Posted May 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Found a few very small Chestnut boletes today while weed eating and a blue stainer. We have had tons of rain in the past two weeks ....need to plan a trip outside my own property and see what if anything is popping in the woods. I already had them drying when snapped the pic.

John Smalldridge Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hey Matt, I got into the woods on 5-31 here in eastern N.C. and there were more chanterelles than you could shake a stick at. I'm sure you'll be harvesting lots soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty dry here in the swamp ☹️ Usually by this time I have a few pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVa Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 John, thanks for the report. We have been getting lots of rain and they have really started to pop the last couple days but still mostly in the button stage. Hope to pick a mess in a day or two. Cajun I can't speak for John and NC but my area of VA just had the wettest May on record with 10+ in of rain and the second warmest May on record to boot. June so far has been the same.

John Smalldridge Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Cajun, we were very dry until last week and then we had the same system hit us that Matt got and the mushrooms went crazy. Hope everyone has a good season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 We have had above average rain all spring. I guess if we get a few hot days i will have to get out and start looking. This seems really early for my area, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Wow.....didn’t realize you guys get chanterelles this early Happy pickens!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVa Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I picked a handful yesterday with plans to go back maybe tomorrow or wed. They are mostly button stage in all my spots. Also found the first black trumpets of the season.....little tiny ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
