Mushroom Types, Descriptions and Uses
|
Chanterelles (Cantharellus Cibarius) are Funnel Shaped Mushrooms
that are relatively uncommon. They bear a slight resemblance to Horn of
Plenty, but are smaller, brownish-gray in color rather than black, and
have a compressed stem. Very sought after for their tender texture and
flavor, they are an uncultivated mushroom. They grow in clusters under
broad-leaved trees and are difficult to find among the leaf litter.
Chanterelles are found in coniferous and hardwood forests of Northern
climates.
Suggested Use:
Chanterelles have a delicious flavor. They are great sauted in butter
with onions or shallots. This is a wonderful Mushroom for sauces.
Chanterelles go well in cream sauces. The flavor of this Mushroom is so
delightful that it is best cooked with light seasonings so that the
Mushroom taste can be highlighted.
