Description:
The Golden Chanterelle is a very sought after gourmet mushroom. Smells fruity like Apricots. They are usually free of bugs unlike most other mushrooms. This one is a personal favorite. They are not very easy to find. Some years more abundant than others.
The false chanterelle Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca is a look-a-like that its commonly confused with.
Cream of Chanterelle soup is a great way to serve them.
