      Nay, unfortunately. The place I hiked is a private scientific research center and they don't allow foraging. In some spots, you can't even leave the trail. I'm glad they have trails though because I see a lot of unique things here. Posted 2 years ago

          Yeah. I was so tempted though. But, they do great research and open their trails for free, soooo....I respected the foraging ban. But, the sight of all the chanterelles was gasp-worthy! Posted 2 years ago

The Red Chanterelle

''Cantharellus cinnabarinus'' is a fungus native to eastern North America. It is a member of the genus ''Cantharellus'' along with other chanterelles. It is named after its red color, which is imparted by the carotenoid canthaxanthin. It is edible, fruiting in association with hardwood trees in the summer and fall.
