The yellow mushroom
When we hear these, yellow mushrooms, chicken mushroom, rabbit mushroom or nyulica, we can be pretty sure that they are referring to the fox mushroom, which is native to Europe. It is so called because of its yellowish-brown colour, which resembles the fur of a fox. Its preferred habitat is in deciduous and coniferous woodland, but it can also be found in dense, darker beech forests and oak woods. Because it likes to hide, it can be found under bushes and especially in damp places. It grows from June to November in bushy places and on mossy, damp hillsides, in rather acidic soil. It grows from June to November and is best suited to warmer rainy weather.
The yellow chanterelles hat 3-10 cm wide, convex when young, flattening out and becoming slightly convex with age. The edge is initially slightly undercurved and curled, becoming straight, irregularly curled and wavy. Colour yellow, ranging from egg-yolk to yellowish-white. Specimens in beech forests may be quite yellowish white. The hat gradually passes into the stump, not clearly separated from it.

Why we love chanterelles
Fantastically tasty mushrooms. When raw, it is slightly spicy (not to be eaten raw). This spiciness disappears during cooking and heating. Experts will recognise it immediately by its smell, which has a very distinctive peachy, slightly peppery aroma. Because it retains its intense fragrance even after drying, it is often powdered and used as a spice.

Tips for chanterelles
With mushrooms, it is important to make sure you get them from the right place. Only mushrooms approved by mushroom experts should be used! If you get fresh mushrooms, just like with all other mushrooms, they must be washed thoroughly to remove any impurities. Special mushroom brushes can be used for this purpose. Since the flesh of chanterelles is slightly harder, it is best to heat, cook and fry them for a longer period of time. It can be used as a spice for any dish, in game dishes, pasta, salads or even in a quick scrambled egg dish.
