Carefully harvested, wild chanterelle mushrooms deserve to be used in recipes worthy of their grandeur. Sometimes called "golden chanterelles" or "egg mushrooms," chanterelle mushrooms have an orange-yellow hue, a funnel shape, and peppery, yet mildly fruity, flavor. They shine the brightest in simple dishes like risotto, soup, or in a simple cream sauce, and their flavor is a great complement to red meat. Here, you'll find 10 of our favorite recipes for using chanterelle mushrooms.
