Description

Fully Colonized plate of Cinnabar-Red Chanterelle.

This is a very popularly foraged mushroom and is a classic Chanterelle. Although you cannot cultivate this mushroom like a normal gourmet mushroom, you can inoculate your yard with the mycelium to encourage fruits in the future. There are also many conservation efforts going on to keep this mushroom flourishing in the wild. They are a integral part of many forest ecosystems across North America as they create mycorrhizal partnerships with hardwood trees such as oaks, beech, and some aspens and hickory trees.
