Cantharellus cascadensis is a fungus native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is named after the Cascade Range, where it was formally described in 2003.[1]
Similar species
Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America:
- C. californicus
- C. cibarius var. roseocanus
- C. formosus
- C. subalbidus
Additionally, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Chroogomphus tomentosus, and species in the genera Craterellus, Gomphus, Omphalotus, and Polyozellus may have a somewhat similar appearance to C. cascadensis.
