Chanterelles in August

A walk in the park revealed quite a lot of suprises today - contrary to what I was expecting. I found a Russula brevipes, but for some reason I didn’t take pictures! What I did image, however ,were loads of chanterelles! The star of today’s show in particular was C. subalbidus, a species I had not seen until this point. Hopefully it makes a nice side for some salmon. Three new patches in one day. Crazy!

Im not sure how to keep the privacy of these patches hidden while maintaining a proper location for the observation. All of my observations from today are labeled as “obscured” in order to keep some semblance of secrecy.
