I have one of those oven-chip mesh things cloddopper - I'll maybe give that a try next year as this year's flush of oysters has gone by.
In passing: last year, my parents' lawn (many silver birch surrounding) produced a good number of what I reckoned to be chanterelles, but I wasn't quite confident enough to harvest at the time. Fully researched on identification, I've been prowling their lawn this year, but, darn it, nary a one! Either a fickle year for chant's or a dog-walking neighbour has sussed and beaten me to them (un-fenced garden) in the dark of night!! Very disappointed obviously.
