Chanterelle Mushroom

$150.00 – $1,150.00

Chanterelle Mushroom are known for their beautiful yellow-orange color, their rarity (they’re available fresh only in the late summer and fall), and most of all, their flavor—a subtle balance of black pepper, butter, apricot, and earth notes.

Their size can vary from tiny blossom-like specimens to impressive 5-inch trumpets (fresh versions can weigh up to two pounds). Their rich flavor pairs well with eggs and cream sauces. Available in both fresh and dried forms, they can be quite pricey.

Chanterelle Mushroom have a symbiotic relationship with trees and shrubs: The fungus protects the roots, and they draw nutrients from each other. This symbiosis is difficult and costly to replicate, so chanterelles are not cultivated, only foraged in the wild.

That, combined with their short growing season—from the first fall rain until the first frost—is what makes chanterelles so rare. But they do grow in temperate climates on every continent, and on many types of trees and bushes.

Chanterelle Mushroom is the common name of several species of fungi in the genera. They are among the most popular of wild edible mushrooms. They are orange, yellow or white, meaty and funnel-shaped. On the lower surface, underneath the smooth cap, most species have rounded, forked folds[1] that run almost all the way down the stipe, which tapers down seamlessly from the cap.

Many species emit a fruity aroma, reminiscent of apricots, and often have a mildly peppery taste (hence its German name, Pfifferling). The name chanterelle originates from the Greek kantharos meaning “tankard” or “cup”,[2][3] a reference to their general shape.
