Common name: Chanterelle, scientific name: Cantharellus cibarius

Chanterelle mushrooms (Cantharellus cibarius) are shown with vibrant yellow-orange caps and thick, sturdy stems. The cap surface is wavy and irregular, with a smooth texture, while the underside features forked, gill-like ridges descending along the stem. These fungi are nestled among decaying leaves on forest floor, suggesting a natural woodland habitat. Their distinctive color contrasts with the brown leaf litter, typical of environments rich in organic matter. Adjacent to the mushrooms is an acorn cap, enhancing the forest setting.
