In many countries Chanterelles are one of the most popular of edible fungi, and understandably so because they have a unique flavour and a lovely fruity smell.

Cantharellus cibarius, the Common Chanterelle, is among the finest of fungi. You will find them in groups beside woodland paths in summer and autumn; once you have found one you should have no trouble gathering enough for a good meal.
