Chanterelles generally occur from late spring through late summer or early fall here in North Georgia. Chanterelles largely grow near hardwoods like maple, poplar, and oak but it's not uncommon to find them around white pines.
FROM EAT SIMPLE FOOD: Sautéed Chanterelles INGREDIENTS

​1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large shallot, fine dice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb chanterelles, quartered, rough ends removed
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
pinch pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large pan to medium high heat and add olive oil. When hot, add shallots. Cook for ~ 4 minutes or until translucent and add garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant and set aside. Wipe the pan (careful it’s hot!) and add chanterelles. Try not to disturb or stir them too much. Cook ~ 4 minutes. Add a little olive oil partially through if they look dry. Finish them off with butter and cook ~ 2 minutes. Add cooked onions and garlic and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. Happy Eating!
