Description

Available December to January.

Grows under deciduous trees throughout North America. Very similar to black Chanterelle but with a more fluted shape hence their name. The cap margin is waxy, the outer surface smooth to wrinkled and the brittle flesh is thin and fruity-fragrant. Very versatile in cooking, it goes particularly well with fish, its dark color making a striking contract with white fish. Its rich, smoky flavor makes it ideal sauted, in soups, sauces, casseroles and mock egg dishes.
