chanterelle
Funnel-shaped mushroom
Chanterelle is an edible wild mushroom prized for its golden color, funnel shape, and fruity aroma.
Chanterelles grow in forests near trees and are foraged rather than cultivated, making them expensive and seasonal: We found chanterelles under the oaks.
They have a delicate, peppery flavor and appear frequently in European cuisine.
