Yellow Leg Chanterelle (Craterellus Tubaeformis) , Fresh & Edible - 250g
Craterellus tubaeformis (formerly Cantharellus tubaeformis) is an edible fungus, also known as yellowfoot, winter mushroom, or funnel chanterelle.
It is mycorrhizal, forming symbiotic associations with plants, making it very challenging to cultivate. It is smaller than the yellow summer chanterelle (Cantharellus Cibarius) and has a dark brown cap with paler gills and a hollow yellow stem.
C. tubaeformis tastes stronger but less fruity than the golden chanterelle. It has a very distinctive smokey, peppery taste when raw. It grows in temperate and cold parts of Northern America and Europe, including Scandinavia, Finland, Russia, and the British Isles, as well as in the Himalayas in Asia.
Available August - November.
