The Chanterelle is one of the four famous mushrooms in the world, sometimes also called Apricot Mushroom or Apricot Yellow Mushroom. There are no reports of successful cultivation, but it is said that Mianyang, Sichuan Province has cultivated a test strain, the effect is unknown. Chanterelles are very absorbent when cooked, and when you bite into them, the oil that has been squeezed out of the mushrooms and their juices flows out like chicken fat, hence the name. Mature Chanterelles have the appearance of a trumpet flower, are brightly colored, are tougher than ordinary mushrooms, are more elastic, and have a distinctive apricot aroma. There are several varieties of Chanterelles, the most authentic being the variety called cibarius.

The chanterelle usually grows in the fall in deep forests in the north temperate zone, and Eastern Europe and Russia produce some of the best chanterelles in the world. Some parts of China also produce several varieties of Chanterelles, of which the quality of those from northwest Sichuan is better, but the production is not large.
