chanterelles
Yellow forest mushrooms
Chanterelles are wild mushrooms prized in cooking, with a distinctive funnel shape and golden-orange color.
They have a fruity, peppery flavor and meaty texture that holds up well in sautés and cream sauces.
Chanterelles grow in forests across Europe and North America, typically foraged rather than cultivated: We found chanterelles under the oaks after the rain.
