Cantharellus Minor

description Cantharellus Minor Overview

Cantharellus minor is a small chanterelle species associated with hardwood forests of eastern North America. Its yellow to orange fruit bodies resemble those of larger golden chanterelles, but the cap commonly remains only a few centimetres wide at maturity. The species is regarded as edible, although reliable identification is important because several small yellow mushrooms can be confused with chanterelles. It is primarily of interest to field mycologists and experienced wild-mushroom foragers.
