Cantharellus anzutake, also known as Japanese golden chanterelle, is a fungus native to Japan and Korea. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is named after the Japanese common name of chanterelle, anzutake (杏茸).[1]
Description
[edit]The pileus (cap) of C. anzutake is 10–40 millimetres (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 in) wide, and yellow, sometimes with a darker center. The hymenium is folded into decurrent ridges (false gills) and cross-veins. The color of these ridges is usually similar to the cap, becoming whitish to pale cream near the stipe (stem). The stem is 20–40 mm (3⁄4–1+5⁄8 in) long and 3.5–6 mm (1⁄8–1⁄4 in) wide, with white coloration. The spores are ellipsoid to ovoid, 7.3–8.8 × 5.1–6.1 μm.[2]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Native to Japan and Korea,[2] C. anzutake forms a mycorrhizal association with Pinus densiflora, Carpinus laxiflora, and Quercus mongolica.[2]
Uses
[edit]Cantharellus anzutake is an edible mushroom, long labeled as C. cibarius. Scientists have described a method of obtaining a pure C. anzutake culture from mycorrhizae and reported repeated fruiting of potted pine seedlings inoculated with the culture, potentially making cultivation feasible.[3][4]
