Chanterelles

Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius) are often called girolles in French. These golden horn-shaped mushrooms range from 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) long and 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) wide. They are very popular. They are pretty, plentiful, and easy to cook and unlike some mushroom varieties, they do not release much water during cooking.
