TIP: Smooth Chanterelles (Cantharellus lateritius) are easy to spot in the summer forests of Illinois. Their flowerlike shape and bold orange color, along with the smooth to faintly wrinkled cap undersurface, helps identify this species. Although mushroom lovers agree the flavor of Smooth Chanterelles is mild, it remains a widely collected chanterelle due to its showy appeal in dishes and widespread availability in summer.
This recipe adds big, zesty flavors to perfectly frame and support the otherwise delicate flavor.
