Cantharellus subalbidus, the white chanterelle, is a fungus native to western North America. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is similar in appearance to other chanterelles except for its cream to white color and orange bruising.[2]

Description

[edit]

The mushroom is white to cream in color,[3] later darkening to yellow-orange.[4] The cap is 5–15 centimetres (2–6 in) wide, flat to depressed, becoming infundibuliform (vaselike) with age.[3] The stalkis2–7 cm (342+34 in) tall and 1–5 cm wide, tapered, with yellow-brown spots due to bruising and age.[3] The spores are white, elliptical, and smooth.[3]

Similar species

[edit]

Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America:

Additionally, Leucopaxillus albissimus,[3] Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Chroogomphus tomentosus, and species in the genera Craterellus, Gomphus, Omphalotus, and Polyozellus may have a somewhat similar appearance to C. subalbidus.

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

C. subalbidus is native to California and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. In the latter, it can be found from August to October.[6]

The fungus has been found to be more common in old-growth forests than in younger forests.[7]

Ecology

[edit]

Cantharellus subalbidus may form a mycorrhizal association with species of pine, hemlock, Douglas-fir, and Pacific madrone.[4][8][9]

Uses

[edit]

A choice edible mushroom, it can be prepared by being sautéed or cutting into chunks and baking at 350 °F (177 °C) for 10 minutes.[5]
