They pop up from the forest floor when the autumn rains arrive, golden and glowing through the moss and mist. Chanterelle mushrooms are one of the fun things to forage, and just one more reason fall is my favorite. This time of year, folks are headed out to the woods with their families to go on mushroom hunting expeditions, bringing home bags and baskets full of wild deliciousness. I needle felted this wool wall hanging with wild mushrooms on my mind, and a lot of good memories of mushroom hunting outings with my kids over the years. It’s like a treasure hunt with really good dinner afterwards.
Our fall rains are arriving late this year, so I haven’t been out picking yet, but I am eagerly anticipating a mushroom excursion any day now.
You can find the wall hanging here in my Etsy Shop:
An absolutely beautiful picture, there is a real Autumn feel about, rich warm colours. Blessings, Pam in Norway
Thank you Pam!
What are some of your favorite chanty recipies? Today we had them scrambled with eggs, diced onion, and cheese. Up here thr season is almost over. Last weekend what I picked was largely water logged.
Chanterelle scrambles are the best! We like to make a mushroom gravy and cream of chanterelle soup. Last year we dry sauteed some and froze them, and I've been putting them in pumpkin lasagna. Here's the soup recipe. It's really rich, but it's delicious!
