Cantharellus cinnabarinus
A tier
Cantharellus cinnabarinus is the cinnabar-red small chanterelle of eastern North America—vivid colour, delicate size, fruity-peppery bite. Beautiful and tasty. Quick sauté; pretty garnish that still deserves heat. Not a bulk commercial volume species. Forager’s jewel.
