Chanterelle
(redirected from chanterelles)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.

chanterelle

Highly prized, fragrant, edible mushroom (Cantharellus cibarius, order Polyporales), rich yellow in colour, found in woods in summer and autumn. Its similarity to the poisonous jack-o-lantern (Clitocybe illudens, order Agaricales), an orange-yellow fungus of woods and stumps that glows in the dark, emphasizes the need for careful identification by the mushroom gatherer.

Chanterelle 

(Cantharellus cibarius), a capped mushroom that is bright yellow in color. At first the cap bulges; it subsequently becomes cone-shaped with wavy edges. Underneath the cap are forked and branched gills. This mushroom grows, often in abundance, during the summer and autumn in forests throughout the temperate zone. Chanterelles are edible and are not infested with the larvae of forest flies and mosquitoes.
