White Chanterelle
A stout white chanterelle of Pacific Northwest and northern Californian conifer forests that bruises yellow to orange. It is a choice edible. Field studies find it much more often in old-growth stands than in second-growth forest.
Edible and choice (Wikipedia). Well-formed specimens can resemble white clitocyboid mushrooms such as Leucopaxillus albissimus, which have true gills that separate readily from the cap; some white Clitocybe species are poisonous.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
