MyNorth.com, the internet arm of Traverse Magazine, has a nice overview of a September Michigan mushroom hunting delicacy.  It’s called the chanterelle.  Excerpt and link:

Move Over, Morel: Come early autumn, the delicately delicious chanterelle mushroom is in season Up North. Two varieties worth the search are the golden chanterelle, which unfurls its yolk-colored cap in hardwood and pine forests, and the yellowish chanterelle, which peeps up among the sphagnum moss in wetlands.

Tasty Treasure: Chanterelles have a fruity, slightly spicy flavor that is heavenly when sautéed with butter or cream.
