Description:

Gold Chanterelles are among the most favored of all the forest mushrooms. Distinguished from Hedge Hog Mushrooms by their prominent gills under every cap, Gold Chanterelles grow on the forest floor. Very visible in the forest especially after a heavy rain this wild mushroom is typified by a very fragrant, woodsy apricot aroma. It is one of the few mushrooms that can be paired with lemon juice or another citric element and not lose its character. Try braising Gold Chanterelles with onions, butter and chopped dried apricot. Otherwise, avoid strong competing flavors such as garlic or spices. Fresh 2, such as lemon thyme can be used in moderation. Generally, you may cook the stems and caps together. Gold Chanterelles pair well with game or shellfish. Soaking good specimens in vodka for a month yields an interesting essence for sauces.
