Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, commonly known as the false chanterelle, is a species of fungus in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. It is found across several continents, growing in woodland and heathland , and sometimes on woodchips used in gardening and landscaping.
Though once thought to be hazardous, it is now known that the false chanterelle is edible but not especially tasty, and ingesting it may result in mild gastrointestinal distress. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] The poisonous species in the genus Omphalotus (the jack-o'-lantern mushrooms) have been misidentified as chanterelles, but can usually be distinguished by ...
Cantharellus is a genus of mushrooms, commonly known as chanterelles (/ ˌ ʃ æ n t ə ˈ r ɛ l /), a name which can also refer to the type species, Cantharellus cibarius. They are mycorrhizal fungi, meaning they form symbiotic associations with plants .
Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America: C. cascadensis [4] – bright yellow fading to white in center of cap, associated with conifers; C. cibarius var. roseocanus [4] – false gills tend to be as dark or darker than cap; C. formosus [4] – smaller size, narrower stem, associated with conifers
The family contains 18 species within two genera: [1] Leucogyrophana and Hygrophoropsis, with the best-known member being the "false chanterelle", Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca. Hygrophoropsidaceae was circumscribed by French mycologist Robert Kühner in 1980, with Hygrophoropsis as the type genus. [2]
For example, chanterelles are in the Cantharellales, false chanterelles such as Gomphus are in the Gomphales, milk-cap mushrooms (Lactarius, Lactifluus) and russulas , as well as Lentinellus, are in the Russulales, while the tough, leathery genera Lentinus and Panus are among the Polyporales, but Neolentinus is in the Gloeophyllales, and the ...
Clean and cut the chanterelles into small pieces, mix with chopped garlic and arrange on a baking sheet. Broil on high until golden brown. Grate almonds with microplane or food processor.
Cantharellus cibarius (Latin: cantharellus, "chanterelle"; cibarius, "culinary") [2] is the golden chanterelle, the type species of the chanterelle genus Cantharellus. It is also known as girolle (or girole). [3] [4] Despite its characteristic features, C. cibarius can be confused with species such as the poisonous Omphalotus illudens.
