"is a genus with many delicious and popular edible mushrooms" Delicious sounds like its from one person's point of view. Could we clear this up please?

- Well, they are reknowned for being delicacies, not in the same league as truffles but at least as popular as Boletus edulis I would have thought. Admittedly I have never eaten them meself............Cas Liber 00:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image
- This is a great image, and I wanted to know where they are actually Chanterelle. Does anyone know? NauticaShades 00:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Based on the image, it's difficult to say. My first thought is that these mushrooms are not chanterelles, but I wouldn't bet on this.--81.242.185.102 21:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I doubt it, having seen the dried chanterelles at Whole Foods today. They look like sliced Steinpilz to me. There are better depictions of dried chanterelle, I will try adding later. --$2966.174.79.235 23:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Those are definitely not Chanterelles. If you look closely, you can see the cross section of a stalk and cap, and a large spongy pore mass in darker yellow-brown decending from the cap. Those features are pretty clearly diagnostic of the Boletus group (I forget the taxonomic category; I am an amateur mushroom hunter, not a mycologist), and the previous user is probably correct in identifying them as Steinpilz, or in American English parlance, Porcini or King Bolete.
