Cantharellus cascadensis, the Cascade chanterelle, is a fungus native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America.[2] It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is named after the Cascade Range, where it was formally described in 2003. It is considered a choice edible mushroom.[3]
History
Both Cantharellus cascadensis and C. roseocanus were first considered to be varieties of Cantharellus cibarius, then of C. formosus.[2] C. cascadensis was genetically classified as its own species in 2003.[1]
Description
The cap is usually bright yellow with a smooth or wooly surface. The stipe is club-shaped to bulbous.[2]
Similar species
Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America:
Additionally, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Chroogomphus tomentosus, and species in the genera Craterellus, Gomphus, Omphalotus, and Polyozellus may have a somewhat similar appearance to C. cascadensis.
