   Hi Frederick! I do best finding chanterelles, but where I live on Vancouver   
   Island, BC, they don't normally show until Sep, Oct. Am I missing something   
   here? We are at sea-level but the terrrain rises to about 4000' as you go   
   inland. I'd like to start early and finish late, so to speak!
