CANTHARELLUS
Cantharellus
Cantharellus is a genus of popular edible mushrooms, commonly known as chanterelles. They are mycorrhizal fungi, meaning they form symbiotic associations with plants, making them very difficult to cultivate. Caution must be used when identifying chanterelles for consumption due to lookalikes, such as the Jack-O-Lantern species, which can make a person very ill. Despite this, chanterelles are one of the most recognized and harvested groups of edible mushrooms.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Cantharellus
