Quite a few boletes coming up under nearby Doug-firs, though. Several other types, but none that come close to the suspected chanterelles. I went over outside my orchard fence and looked around a bit more under the oaks and madrones there but did not see any other similar mushrooms. There are mature large madrones not far from the hugelkultur bed where these are growing. This specimen looks a bit more yellow in color, but otherwise it seems to fit as best I can tell. Here are the links to a couple of pics that I hope will do a better job of showing the "gills" more clearly:īased on your info here and on the mykoweb page, it certainly COULD be a white chanterelle. I was able to get some pics, but we have been dealing with the heavy rains the last few days (6 weeks, really! we're up to 12 Thank you so very much for taking time to look at the pics and send your thoughts and links! My apologies for the delayed response. They actually prefer older stands of Douglas-fir mixed with all the hardwoods I mentioned earlier, especially under madrone and manzanita.Here's the link: But normally, white chanterelles don't grow in disturbed or cultivated soils. If you have older trees of any of these species nearby, the mushrooms might be growing on the root system of one of these trees. White chanterelles are mycorrhizal with madrone, manzanita, Douglas-fir, tanoak, chinquapin, evergreen huckleberry and maybe oak.

(It would be so cool if you had white chanterelles AND morels growing in the same bed!!) Below is another link with good photos and a description. Also, be sure to bruise the specimen and see if it stains a yellow-orange to orange-brown color, one of the key characters of the white chanterelle. If you could harvest one of the bigger specimens and take another close-up photo of the gills, it might be possible to be 100% sure. The mushrooms in the photo look a lot like the white chanterelle (Cantharellus subalbidus)- a close relative to the Pacific golden chanterelle that is a dull white color. Otherwise, I'd suggest you just go to Fred Meyer and check out the chanterelles in their produce section for comparison! Below are some links at for comparison. BTW, it's been a bad year for chanterelles in Oregon. KB, I didn't have any luck clicking on the links you provided- if you could provide photos, I could probably help you ID your mushrooms. These are very common mushrooms around my garden and blueberry patch. One orange "look-alike" I see on woodchips/woody soil in hugelkultur or raised beds this time of year is Laccaria laccata- the "lackluster laccaria". Occasionally, you'll see some growing in gravel by the roadside, but older Doug-firs on undisturbed soil are always close by. In Oregon, they are mycorrhizal with the roots of older Douglas-fir, hemlock, true fir, Sitka spruce and redwood trees in forest soil that has not been dug up or disturbed for quite some time. I doubt very much they would be growing from a hugelkultur bed, at least one that had been made in the past 15 years or so. In fact, they grow on my farm in wooded areas. I have quite a bit of experience with chanterelles in Oregon.
