Chanterelles Dried Mushrooms

$9.09 Chanterelle mushrooms, otherwise known as golden chanterelles or girolles, are dried mushrooms of the Cantharellus genus. They are most commonly yellowish-orange and funnel-shaped, with a smell indicative of dried apricots and a peppery yet fruity taste. Predominant in North America and various parts of northern Europe, the Chanterelle is commonly found growing in mossy, herby patches of the forest. Coveted by fungi connoisseurs around the world, these dried mushrooms are a staple in European cuisine. Unlike some of the mundane tasting mushrooms of planet Earth, Chanterelle mushrooms make a splash with flavor – balancing the shock of spice with the delicacy of fruit in a compact form.
