Chanterelle in Świętokrzyskie: where to look
Chanterelle: the species in brief
How to tell it
Yellow to apricot throughout, with a wavy cap and firm flesh. The ridges under the cap are thick, blunt and forked. The smell is often fruity, sometimes compared with apricots.
Where it grows
In coniferous, broadleaved and mixed woodland, usually among moss or leaf litter. Good patches often fruit repeatedly over many years.
In the kitchen
Excellent fried and widely used with cream, butter or eggs. They do not dry as well as many boletes because the texture can become tough.
Nutrition
Low in calories. Chanterelles can contain vitamin D2, although the amount varies greatly.
