Haha of course not! Those chanterelles are great too but we don’t get them by me.
I've found chanterelles in CT, so you should be able to find them in Jersey as long as you're inland a bit. Just look under oaks midsummer a few days after some rain.
They will be more yellow than orange, slightly trumpet shaped, peel apart like string cheese, solid white inside, and don't have true gills, just ridges. They will be growing from the ground.

Their only "look alike" grows from wood, is orangish yellow inside, breaks apart, and has gills. It's called a jack of lantern. It won't kill you, but might make you think it's going to for a while. I believe the symptoms are labeled "severe gastrointestinal distress"...

Haha, I don't trust myself searching for them for that exact reason. As much as I am interested in them (like I said before, and I know we are both fans of Stamets) and like to learn, I don't know nearly enough to go out hunting for them. I'm pretty sure I've come across some Chanterelles when I was in school in CT by the golf course that was behind my dorms actually. I am more towards the coast in NJ so I haven't really seen them.

Screenshot that criteria I gave you and you will be fine. They're one of the safest ones to forage because they're so easily distinguished based on those features. (and probably the best tasting mushroom there is) just keep an eye out under oaks in summer most places in the mid latitudes of the northern hemisphere. When you find one, peel it apart and take note of its features and you'll see what I mean. (y) It's really cool finding gourmet edibles growing wild.

Morels are what we're after right now. Chanterelles in June. But we'll always take chickens when we find them!
Morels! Nice those are so tasty. Man your season is comes early down in TN. I don't anticipate any Morels in PA for atleast a month or two. Hopefully sooner than later though.

Friend sent it to me :) I've never seen them around but they're on Joya's website... was a great smoke, very similar to Mombacho's Tierra Vulcan, but a notch down in body

Well, the rest of Tennessee has been bringing them in big time, but not much yet here in the mountains. Missouri and Illinois seasons get going before us.. :/
I'd guess about 4 weeks for y'all. You can watch the morel progression map on thgreatmorel.com (y)
