Girolle mushroom

The girolle is part of a genus with many delicious and popular edible mushrooms. It is a mycorrhizal edible fungus, meaning it forms symbiotic associations with other plants, making it very challenging to cultivate. The yellow chanterelle is one of the most recognized edible mushrooms and can be found in Asia, Europe, North America & Australia.

The girolle is the best known species of this genus, which is orange or yellow, meaty and funnel-shaped. It has forking gills on the underside, running all the way down its stalk, which tapers down seamlessly from the cap. It has a fruity smell and a peppery taste, and is considered an excellent food mushroom. It has a thick stalk and strong flavour.
