Tips
Chambaran mushrooms: Chambaran forest is famous for its mushrooms, especially around the Col de Toutes Aures. Main species include penny buns, horns of plenty, chanterelles and grey chanterelles. Of course, the best season is autumn, but some mushrooms grow earlier, such as the summer cep, which grows under oak and beech trees from June to September.
Nicolas Grandclaude, chef at Atelier Grandclaude in Marnans, is a big fan: "I love walking in Chambaran forest foraging for mushrooms. And I can serve them in my restaurant regularly, because I'm lucky enough to know gatherers who sell me their find. I use them in a range of recipes such as cream of mushroom soup, small biscuits and pan-fried penny bun mushrooms with parmesan and gravy. They give earthy flavours that are a regular feature of my autumn menu ".
