The golden child of the mushroom world, chanterelles are known for their beautiful yellow-orange color, their rarity (they’re available fresh only in the late summer and fall), and most of all, their flavor—a subtle balance of black pepper, butter, apricot, and earth notes. Their size can vary from tiny blossom-like specimens to impressive 5-inch trumpets (fresh versions can weigh up to two pounds). Their rich flavor pairs well with eggs and cream sauces. Available in both fresh and dried forms, they can be quite pricey.
