Yellowfoot / Winter Chanterelles (Craterellus tubaeformis)

Yellowfoot or Winter Chanterelles (Craterellus tubaeformis) is a edible mushroom that grows late in the year. These mushrooms have a distinctive yellow stem that is hollow. The mushrooms are mostly found growing on the ground and often in great numbers.

On the underside, the mushrooms have false gills that are decurrent meaning the gills travel slightly down the stem / stipe. These mushrooms have a slighly less fruity smell than golden chanterelles, but they still are an excellent edible mushroom.
