Hello. I just found a gorgeous cluster of mushrooms. I cannot post pictures as of yet. They've not downloaded to my cloud yet. I'm pretty darn sure they are chanterelles. They grew out beside of a small tree stump in my mother's yard. I did a ton of googling and some research. They have a nice faint apricot odor to them, and they have the ribs running through the caps, but NOT down the stems.
I wasn't entirely sure how to prep them. I did a sink rinse, and now letting them dry on paper towels. Just planning on sautéing them. . .IF, they are in fact chanterelles. I wish I could post the pics. They have a golden brown color, man, there must have been close to 2lbs worth!
