Cantharellus

Cantharellus is a genus of mushrooms, commonly known as chanterelles (), a name which can also refer to the type species, Cantharellus cibarius.

The name comes from the Greek word kantharos ('tankard, cup'). Chanterelles are one of the most recognized and harvested groups of edible mushrooms.
