The Broye crosses Vaud and Fribourg. Agricultural plain, small valleys, riparian woodland, slopes and Plateau forest create clear contrasts between open ground, edges and more continuous woodland. For chanterelles, combine compatible trees, low nutrient enrichment, drainage and lasting moisture. A wet edge after one shower is not enough.
Habitat and species
Woodland soils beneath broadleaf or conifer trees, damp but not waterlogged. Moisture near water does not automatically mean suitable soil. Compare drainage, tree composition, litter and aspect, and separate grassland species from woodland species.

Season and microclimate
Most often from summer into early autumn. In Broye, elevation, aspect and drought duration can advance, delay or interrupt this window.
Prepare the trip
First combine the habitat of Cantharellus cibarius, retained moisture and weather over the preceding weeks. This is a cross-cantonal region. One trip can move from Vaud to Fribourg rules, so always identify the canton and municipality before collecting.
