I knew there was a lot of mushrooms in the woods, but I did not expect to fill the basket! Found one spot in particular that filled 1/3 of the basket, it never ended.

Chanterelles have been exceptionally early this year from what I’ve seen from other folks in the PNW. I like to watch Mushroom Trail on yt and he was pulling them mid-June, I think he is in Washington. All of the forums are full of people picking chants, lobsters and hedgehogs for a few weeks now. I myself have noticed a lot of things we don’t see until at least the beginning of September (in my area), Gomphidius, Hericium, Helvella, Hedgehogs, etc.
Crazy. I live in Seattle. Normally we snag in September… I will see if I can find them in my spots when I get home from Mexico in a month.
They were popping up on the peninsula in June but I didn’t see any on this side of the sound and now it’s been a while since we’ve had any rain so not much is growing period.
Here we’ve had quite a rainy summer so far, so there’s been reports of them appearing in large amounts already, which is why I went out looking for them.
