The velvety or Fries Chanterelle ( Cantharellus friesii ) is a fungal art from the family of Chanterelle relatives (Cantharellaceae).
features
The velvety chanterelle has an orange (varying from deep yellow to reddish orange) hat about 2–4 centimeters wide, which at first appears depressed, later becomes funnel-shaped and takes on a lobed shape as it ages. The hat with the long curled, later fluttering edge is slightly velvety to bare. The underside of the hat is orange-pink to yellow in color, fading somewhat with age. The ridges of the fruit layer (hymenophore) are distant and thick with a blunt edge. They are forked and run down like a vein on the stem. This is pale orange or yellowish, relatively short, at first full, later hollow. The velvety chanterelle has a stronger smell of mirabelle plums than the chanterelle .
ecology
The velvety chanterelle is, like the other chanterelles, a mycorrhizal producer that can coexist with various deciduous and coniferous trees. It occurs in beech, fir-beech and spruce-fir up to pure spruce forests, where it occurs preferentially in bare locations free of herbaceous plants. The Velvety Chanterelle is a lime- and nitrogen-avoiding fungus that colonizes nutrient-poor soils with pH values below 4.
distribution
The species is common in northern Asia and Europe. In Germany it occurs scattered to very patchy, it is not found in the northern German lowlands. The velvety chanterelle is placed in risk group G 2 (highly endangered, with a clear tendency to decline).
meaning
The velvety chanterelle is edible and is considered a good edible mushroom , but due to its rarity it deserves some rest.
Origin of name
The scientific name Cantharellus friesii honors the mycologist Elias Magnus Fries .
