Chanterelle(鸡油菌)

Chanterelle这一类可以食用的有Chanterelle(Cantharellus cibarius), Amethyst Chanterelle(Cantherellus amethysteus), Frosted Chanterelle(Cantharellus pallens)

常易混淆有毒的是False Chanterelle(Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca)和英国极不常见的Jack-o-lantern Mushroom(Omphalotus olearius)Jack-o-lantern gills清晰、不分叉,在微光下发荧火虫一般的blue-green荧光,切开StemFlesh也呈黄色。

False ChanterelleGills据称是folds而不是真正的gills,这一点在图片上不易区分。 Chanterelle的另一个区别是,切开FleshPale yellow/orange and tough, never pure white,而ChanterellewhiteFalse ChanterelleSpore print是白色,Chanerelle则是Ochraceous(赭色).

值得注意的是Amethyst ChanterelleFlesh切开是White becoming yellow or brownish,这一点可能混淆False Chanterelle. 不过Amethyst Chanterelle cap上有purplish scale,孢子印Pale Yellow
