Commonly known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;cinnabar-red chanterelle&#039;&#039;&#039;, it is notable for its vibrant red to orange-red coloration. This species is found in [[North America]], particularly in the eastern regions, and is a popular choice among foragers due to its distinctive appearance and edibility.<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> The fruiting body of &#039;&#039;Cantharellus cinnabarinus&#039;&#039; is characterized by its bright red to orange-red color. The cap is typically funnel-shaped, with a diameter ranging from 2 to 5 cm. The edges of the cap are often wavy and irregular. The hymenium, or spore-bearing surface, is composed of gill-like ridges rather than true gills, which are a distinguishing feature of the [[Cantharellus]] genus.<br /> <br /> The stipe, or stem, is usually the same color as the cap or slightly paler. It is solid, firm, and can grow up to 5 cm in height. The flesh of the mushroom is white to pale yellow and has a mild, fruity aroma.<br /> <br /> ==Habitat and Distribution==<br /> &#039;&#039;Cantharellus cinnabarinus&#039;&#039; is typically found in deciduous forests, often in association with [[oak]] and [[beech]] trees. It forms mycorrhizal relationships with these trees, which means it grows in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the trees. This species is most commonly found in the summer and early fall.<br /> <br /> ==Edibility==<br /> &#039;&#039;Cantharellus cinnabarinus&#039;&#039; is considered an edible mushroom and is sought after by foragers. It is often used in culinary dishes for its mild flavor and attractive color. However, as with all wild mushrooms, proper identification is crucial to avoid confusion with potentially toxic species.<br /> <br /> ==Similar Species==<br /> &#039;&#039;Cantharellus cinnabarinus&#039;&#039; can be confused with other red or orange chanterelles, such as &#039;&#039;[[Cantharellus texensis]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Cantharellus minor]]&#039;&#039;. It is important to note the specific characteristics of the cap, stipe, and hymenium to accurately identify this species.<br /> <br /> ==Conservation==<br /> While not currently listed as endangered, the habitat of &#039;&#039;Cantharellus cinnabarinus&#039;&#039; can be affected by deforestation and environmental changes. Sustainable foraging practices are encouraged to ensure the continued availability of this species.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Cantharellus]]<br /> * [[Mycorrhiza]]<br /> * [[Edible mushrooms]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> {{Commons category|Cantharellus cinnabarinus}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cantharellus|cinnabarinus]]<br /> [[Category:Edible fungi]]<br /> [[Category:Fungi of North America]]<br /> [[Category:Fungi described in 1822]]<br /> <br /> {{Fungus-stub}}</div>
