This pleasantly aromatic fleshy, 100% wild harvested mushroom shines like an exotic golden flower when seen from a distance against the autumn forest background. Also known as "golden chanterelle" and "egg mushroom." chanterelles have a magical appeal for most culinary experts in Europe, United States, and Asia. They are prized for their playful shape, warm color, and subtle flavor—a balance of fruity, peppery, and gently earthy. Chanterelles are excellent with meats, fish, or as an entree topping. They're also very popular with eggs or as a filling in crêpes.
