    Ingredients

    Chanterelle mushrooms.

    Our Dried Yellow Foot Chanterelle Mushrooms are gathered in the wild specifically for us, and then gently dried to preserve their delicate flavor. Like other varieties of chanterelles these have a broad, shallow cap and a thick central stem. But unlike their cousins, Yellow Foot Chanterelles have a pronounced yellow color. When fresh, the mushroom's cap is a dusky brown but the stem is a golden yellow, giving the variety its name. Once dried, however, the mushroom is consistently yellow from cap through stem, although it often is less vibrantly yellow.
    They have a delicious flavor backed with mild peppery notes and a notably sweet aroma, often described as fruity and reminiscent of apricots. When dried, Chanterelle's aroma sometimes takes on smoky notes.
    The fruiting bodies of Chanterelles (the part we actually eat) can grow up to several inches across European and Asian varieties generally only reach a few inches across at most.
    Yellow Foot Chanterelle Mushrooms (Cantharellus lustescen, sometimes categorized as Craterellus tubaeformis) are mycorhizal fungi, a combination of the Greek words "myco" (meaning "fungus") and "rhizal" (meaning "roots") because they grow in symbiotic relationships in which they exchange nutrients with the root systems of both hardwood and coniferous trees as well as with the root systems of bushes and shrubs.
    Chanterelles are among the most highly sought after forest mushrooms growing wild in the U.S. Careful harvesting of wild Chanterelles removes only the fruiting bodies above ground, leaving the below ground mycelium structures unharmed and in place to grow more fruiting bodies in the future. Yellow Foot Chanterelles are often found growing near Black Trumpet Chanterelles. Since the Yellow Foot sprout up to several weeks earlier than the Black Trumpets they can sometimes be used to find the later-growing variety.
