Extract from Wikipedia article: Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, commonly known as the false chanterelle, is a species of fungus in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. It is found across several continents, growing in woodland and heathland, and sometimes on woodchips used in gardening and landscaping. Fruit bodies (mushrooms) are yellow–orange with a funnel-shaped cap up to 8 cm (3 ⁄8 in) across that has a felt-like surface. The thin, often forked gills on the underside of the cap run partway down the length of the otherwise smooth stipe. Reports on the mushroom's edibility vary – it can serve as food, though not a particularly flavorful one, or it can be mildly poisonous.
Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. It is characterized by its orange to yellow-orange cap and stipe, and white to pale yellow pores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens. Fruitings are usually found from late summer to early autumn, particularly in areas with rich soil and high humidity. The fungus is considered rare to occasional in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
