I think jack o lanterns are the only chant lookalike. And they really don’t look alike at all. Aren’t false chants around only when it’s really dry?

The chants I found just smell like earth.....no apricot aroma at all. Will they still have good flavor?

The ones I have found this year I could not pick up an apricot smell. I was teaching some new foragers about chanterelles, and pulled several apart looking for the sweet, fruity smell. I never did find one with it. They were still delicious

I think it may be because of an abundance of rain.

Makes sense to me. Similar to how veggies lose some flavor with too much water.

I have been picking chanterelles for forty years, and I've yet to find one with an apricot smell.

My wife is now known as “the mushroom lady” at the park near our house. Probably put up 20 lbs so far with no end in sight.
