I’m new to mushroom hunting and wanted to increase my chances of finding some Chanterelles this weekend. I decided to use my spatial analysis background to help narrow down my search. The linked web map depicts locations highlighted in gold where Chanterelles are more likely to inhabit. These areas consist of northward facing slopes that have an elevation between 1500 and 1,066.8 meters within coniferous forests throughout Oregon.
This is just my first attempt and I’m by no means a mycologist. Please let me know if you can think of any other spatial predictors that might help characterize the distribution of Chanterelles!
