"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?

Seems ok to me, but go ahead and rewrite, be bold :-) Jens Nielsen 20:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

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.
