How to Forage Wild Mushrooms! 🍄
What happens here
After harvesting, transport Chanterelles in a basket or a paper bag to allow for proper air circulation. Never use a plastic bag tied shut, as this will cause the mushrooms to rot quickly in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze-drying is recommended, which allows for consumption throughout the year.
Goal: Prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of harvested Chanterelle mushrooms.
