Yellow Legs

Cantharellus tubaeformis Found in all types of woods and copses in the autumn or early winter, it is quite common but easily overlooked. It is a good edible fungus which you may find growing in large numbers but if you only find a few they can be added to other collections for the pot. Easy to dry, it is only good to eat cooked, raw it is rather bitter. This mushroom makes a good substitute for chanterelles in any recipe; it tends to fruit later, normally after the chanterelles have finished.
