Fresh chantrelles in Twin Cities?

[elrushbo]

I was wondering, when available, where's a good market that carries fresh chantrelles? There's a couple things I want to make with them, but am leery of using the dried ones.

Just curious, why are you leery of the dried ones? Seems like
people have been using those for many years in Eastern Europe..

When I visited the Mill City Farmers Market (the one sandwiched between the Guthrie and the Mill City Museum) back in the late summer/early fall, there was a man there who specialized in mushrooms. He had a huge variety and they all looked gorgeous. But, that was months ago. :) It won't help you now, or until that farmers market is open again, but he might be a year-round source if you knew how to get in touch with him in the off-season...

I don't think it's chanterelle season - they're probably at their best in the early fall. But, yeah, Mississippi Market and the Wedge are probably your best bets.

I have seen them at the wedge, but they look pretty tired and beaten up most of the time and are stored under plastic wrap which is death for mushrooms.

I often see them at Mississippi Market -- I shop at the Selby-Dale branch. if Minneapolis is more convenient for you, I'd bet the Wedge co-op would have them.
