Common name: Yellow Chanterelle. Nom scientific : Cantharellus cibarius.

Cap : 3-11 cm broad, peg to vase-shaped, the disc frequently depressed but not funnelform; margin incurved, wavy, in age decurved, plane, to upturned; surface smooth or with appressed hairs, dry, yellow to golden-yellow, fading in age ; flesh yellowish, thick, firm ; odor faintly fruity, taste mild.

Gills : reduced to ridges, decurrent, forking, often cross-veined or anastomosing, colored like the cap or lighter.

Stipe : 2-9 cm long, 0.5-3.5 cm thick, tapering to a narrowed base; surface dry, smooth, concolorous or lighter than the cap.

Spores : 8-11 x 4-5.5 µm, elliptical, smooth; spore print pale yellow.

Edible : there are few fungi with the gastronomic respect afforded to the chanterelle. It is prized for cooking throughout Europe and North America, although it is far more popular in Europe. In Germany it is known as the "Pfifferling."

It grows from August to October in forest.

Very nice mushroom again Christian
very nice composing, good colours and a exelent note

This one could not be missing, and you did it as always very well, and with a beautiful specimen. I like the appricot smell it has. Thanks for sharing.
NOTE: In your trumpet of death I think you made a mistake with the scientific name in the note, I think is Craterellus cinereus, and obviously not Cortinarius Praestans which is anotherone you posted. Greetings!

I like these mushrooms. But the are difficult to take pictures of without flash. They seem to grow at qyite dark places I think.

Informativa nota tambien.

Il paraît une fleur... réellement.
Autre bel exemplaire qui exhibes avec une grande acuité, coloré et une présentation.
Note informative aussi.

Another spot on fungus christian, the colours are very good. The far side of the cup could do with darkening a fraction as it is a fraction over exposed

Christian, You understand that your name is now forever synonomus with fungus!!;-)) Another excellent photo you've posted. It seems that nature has provided you with infinite textures,shapes,colors & in this case smells..as in my pan sauteing! ;-)
