What if we took advantage of this long All Saints' Day weekend to go walk in the forest.

In the Côtes-d'ArmorTHE bois took their beautiful colors fromautumn. A walk will also be an opportunity to find mushrooms.

Little porcini mushrooms on the horizon at the moment, but chanterelles yes, in large quantities even. Depending on the weather, it is possible to find some until December. This mushroom is a excellent comestible.

Chanterelles by the dozen

The gray chanterellealso called chanterelle in tubegrows equally well under deciduous trees as well as under conifers. Chanterelles are particularly fond of moss carpets, where they emerge from the ground in groups of several dozen individuals (or even more).

If luck smiles on you, you will fill your basket in a very short time.

To find the chanterelle, it is better to leave the beaten track and go a little deeper into the forest (taking care not to get lost!).

In the pan or in an omelette

It is then appropriate to scan the ground in search of this small yellow-brown mushroom, which can reach around ten centimeters.

The chanterelle can be recognized by its funnel-shaped hat, under which there are folds. Its foot is smooth and hollow.

The chanterelle is eaten after frying or in an omelette.

To be on the safe side, if you have the slightest doubt, have the mushrooms you collect identified by a person who has sound knowledge of mycology.
