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. Chanterelles may resemble a number of other species, some of which are poisonous.
Chanterelle is the common name of several species of fungi in the genera Cantharellus, Craterellus, Gomphus, and Polyozellus. They are orange, yellow or white, meaty and funnel-shaped. They are orange, yellow or white, meaty and funnel-shaped.
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.
Cantharellus formosus, commonly known as the Pacific golden chanterelle, is a fungus native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It was distinguished from C. cibarius in the 1990s. It is orange to yellow, meaty and funnel-shaped.
[8] [9] Various African Cantharellus species (often collected in miombo woodlands) are also imported into Europe and marketed as "chanterelles". [10] In North America, Cantharellus formosus is an additional, widely marketed species. [11] The global trade in species of the Cantharellaceae has been estimated (2005) to be worth over £1bn (US$1 ...
Craterellus tubaeformis (formerly Cantharellus tubaeformis) is an edible fungus, also known as the winter chanterelle, [2] yellowfoot, winter mushroom, or funnel chanterelle. It was reclassified from Cantharellus , which has been supported by molecular phylogenetics .
Cantharellus californicus, also called the California golden chanterelle, [2] mud puppy, or oak chanterelle, is a fungus native to California, United States. [3] It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles .
Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has redefined the Cantharellales. [4] As well as the Cantharellaceae (chanterelles and their allies, inclusive of the Craterellaceae), the order currently comprises fungi with morphologically diverse sporocarps (fruit bodies) within the Aphelariaceae (clavarioid fungi), Botryobasidiaceae (corticioid fungi), Ceratobasidiaceae ...
