Chantrelle Mushrooms
form the North America's North West Coast and Mountain Region
Chantrelles are trumpet shaped with considerable variation in
the thickness and taper of the stem. The golden chantrelle is yellow to
yellow-orange; the white chantrelle is off-white and bruises yellow-orange. The
spore bearing surface is veinlike with folds and ridges, as opposed to the gills
of typical mushrooms. The flesh is firm and fibrous.
Both may occur singly, but are often found in clusters on the forest floor.
Golden chantrelles are found in conifer and hardwood forests, while white
chantrelles are confined to conifer forests. Both fruit commonly in late summer
and fall; timing depends on rainfall.
