Extract from Wikipedia article: Craterellus tubaeformis (formerly Cantharellus tubaeformis) is an edible fungus, also known as Yellowfoot, winter mushroom, or Funnel Chanterelle. It is mycorrhizal, forming symbiotic associations with plants, making it very challenging to cultivate. It is smaller than the golden chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) and has a dark brown cap with paler gills and a hollow yellow stem. C. tubaeformis tastes stronger but less fruity than the golden chanterelle. It has a very distinctive smokey, peppery taste when raw. It grows in temperate and cold parts of Northern America and Europe, including Scandinavia, Finland, Russia, and the British Isles, as well as in the Himalayas in Asia, including Assam, in the central parts of the Indian Subcontinent , and in Thailand .
Craterellus tubaeformis is a funnel-shaped, wrinkled fungus with a wavy, irregular cap and decurrent gills. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from August to October in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, or fir trees. In north-western Russia, it is commonly found in similar habitats, including mossy spruce forests and sphagnum bogs, where it grows solitary or in small groups on moist soil and decaying organic matter. The fungus is edible and highly valued for its fruity, apricot-like aroma and sweet, nutty flavor.
