What makes chanterelles so special?

You won’t see this pretty bright-yellow mushrooms so often in supermarkets and markets. They are available fresh only in late summer and early autumn. The rarity comes from the symbiotic relationship they are having with trees. The mushroom grows on the tree’s exterior roots and helps the tree absorbing essential nutrients. This process is so hard to replicate and it’s almost impossible to create an artificial environment to harvest chanterelle mushrooms. They can only be picked in the wild and this is the reason why they are so pricey.

You will be delightedly surprised by the chanterelles taste. But before that, please remember that they are grown in forests and you have to clean them well. Don’t skip this part. You either soak them in water or place them under low running water. However, there will still be some dirt left in the ridges and you will also have to you a brush for clean them. Rinse them again and they are ready to be cooked.
