Chanterelle mushrooms come in a wide range of colours, from orange and yellow to even white and blue. The most commonly used variety is the golden or yellow Chanterelle. The caps of these mushrooms are funnel-shaped with forked gills on the underside that run all the way down its stalk. As meaty mushrooms, with a fruity smell and peppery taste, Chanterelles are excellent food mushrooms and provide significant flavour to many recipes. When added to a dish, they reduce the need for strong herbs and spices, such as garlic, which may compete with the mushrooms' flavour.
