The name “chanterelle” refers both to the mushroom known as the golden chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) and to other closely related species. Chanterelles grow in forests in temperate regions. They can be distinguished from most other mushrooms by their cap, which is wrinkled, rather than gilled, on the underside. The cap is a wavy cup-shape and firm, and ranges from 3/4-inch to 4 inches (1.9 to 10cm) across. Depending on the variety, the cap can be yellow, orange, white, brownish gray, or black. Most chanterelles are 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to 12. 5cm) high from root to cap. Chanterelles are noted for their soft flesh and apricot-like fragrance.
