Thankfully, I am not, I can barely take the heat here.
If you are on iNat there is a neat project called Molluscan Mycophagy where you upload observations of slugs and snails eating mushrooms. You upload an observation for each organism and use fields to indicate the "eating/eaten by" interaction.
I lucked out with my sandstone pods, I have plants and moss and they don't touch them.
I think its a Mica Cap but I am peeping a very cute isopod as well.
That's the plan this year, get into some areas I don't usually go and do it as frequently as possible. I am always checking iNat and MO to see if anyone posts Cantharellus in the region, even if people tend to be secretive about that sort of information.
Southern and coastal BC can get a lot of precipitation but a lot of the central/southern interior can be very arid, and I believe the Okanagan is a desert. Most of our rain typically falls in October/November.
I am in central interior BC and my area is pretty dry most of the time but wet when chanterelles should be coming up. I have asked around and even the more experienced foragers have had no luck but to be fair the population is small and other mushroom hunters are hard to find. I have heard of them being found about 100-200km north of me so they probably do grow here but maybe aren't as abundant as other places. I am still on the hunt for them, I am mostly whinging.
Nice, wish these came up in my area.
I was so excited to see these, really early for my area. Just picked some more for dinner.
Usually teeth or spines
If they're chanterelles they look about ready to pick, might go wormy on you if you wait much longer.
Are the yellow ones chanterelles? They don't grow in my area or are very rare so I don't have a good eye for them. Pic of underside would be cool.
Usually show up in the garden a couple weeks before they do in the woods.
