I know how to dry Ceps but have never had a go with Chanterelles.



Lastly do they actually dry well which should of been my first question!!!
Drying works with almost any mushroom and enhances the flavour the best. Slice thinly 2 -4mm thick and rack them over a warm spot like a radiator or warm windowsill (sorry forgot this is UK ) with the air circulating them for five to six hours between 45-55 degrees. Store in clean dry sealable jars for up to a year.
