One of the upsides of living in the Southeast is the wild chanterelles. Yes, that's right. I lived here for many years before I learned this. The local Chamber of Commerce really should talk up the availability of wild mushrooms in their advertising. At any rate, it has been a rainy few months and mushrooms are plentiful. After cleaning them up, there were about 800 g, probably $50 worth in a fancy market. Freshly harvested, they lose quite a bit of water during cooking, so this amount was just right as a side for two people.
