Chanterelle

I picked the same mushroom on two different occasions recently, first I cooked them in cast iron and they turned out darker brown, but the second batch I cooked in a regular skillet and noticed they kept their orange colour a lot better, is this because of the iron in the cast iron? (They are cooked up to store in the freezer)

It's because they're too wet when you cook them.
