Funnel Chanterelle
Funnel chanterelle is common in both beech and spruce forest. It typically grows in large groups, and if you are lucky, you can find funnel chanterelles in their thousands at a single site. They come somewhat late, and I primarily pick them in October and November when they have reached a certain size.

Recipes with Funnel Chanterelle
Pie with beef and mushrooms
Everyone likes pie, especially the English on the green isle. There are many different kinds of filling and lid, and my pie is of course with mushrooms, but also with a meat filling that gives it substance.
Frittata with funnel chanterelles
This is a classic Italian egg dish that differs from an omelette in one respect; namely that it starts on the stovetop but finishes in the oven. The filling can be almost anything.
Wonton with funnel chanterelle
Wonton wrappers are gratifying to work with. They can be bought in shops with Asian specialties, and sometimes even in the supermarket. The dough is easy to work with.
Pumpkin and funnel chanterelles
Squash and winter chanterelles are perhaps two of the foods most present in my food autumn. Hokkaido squash has a manageable size and a wonderful flavor that goes beautifully with mushrooms.
