Edibility:
Edible
Identification Notes:
Growth of up to 3 in; cap diameter of up to 2.5 in; spores are white. Previously it was known as Cantharellus tubaeformis and also, incorrectly, as Cantharellus/Craterellus infundibuliformis (Scopoli) Fries. Results of the molecular analysis that confirmed that Craterellus was the proper genus for C. tubaeformis also suggest that the winter chanterelle of the PNW is not that species.
