Joe McFarland, a co-author of Edible Wild Mushrooms of Illinois and Surrounding States, sent this note:

All of that rain around Chicago a few weeks ago seems to have paid off: Edible summer mushrooms, including chanterelles, are being found by some of my mushroom pals in northeast Illinois.

We've just posted a new summer recipe featuring chanterelles at illinoismushrooms.com.
Here's the direct link:

Unlike morels, which can be found for just a few short weeks in the spring, chanterelles can be found during the entire summer season, following rains, starting in late May in southern Illinois up until September statewide.

But the recipe looks and reads like the goods.
