One of the delights of fall in the Pacific Northwest is the hunt for the golden yellow Chantrelle (Cantharellus cibarius), emerging from the forest floor after the seasonal rain has begun. This fungi is found in association with both conifers and evergreen hardwoods, even in areas recently disturbed by fire. Certain tree species and Chantrelles form mycorrhizae, a fungus-root association that benefits both the tree and the fungi.
