Cantharellus anzutake
Cantharellus anzutake, also known as Japanese golden chanterelle, is a fungus native to Japan and Korea.[2] It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is named after the Japanese common name of chanterelle, anzutake (杏茸).[1]

Description
The pileus (cap) of C. anzutake is 10–40 millimetres (0.39–1.57 in) wide, and yellow in color, sometimes with darker center. The hymenium is folded into decurrent ridges (false gills) and cross-veins. The color of these ridges is usually similar to the pileus, becoming whitish to pale cream near the stipe. The stipe (stem) is 20–40 millimetres (0.79–1.57 in) long and 3.5–6 millimetres (0.14–0.24 in) wide, with white coloration. The spores are ellipsoid to ovoid, (7.3–)7.6–8.24–8.4(–8.8) × (5.1–)5.4–5.67–5.9(–6.1) µm.[2]
Habitat
Cantharellus anzutake forms a mycorrhizal association with Pinus densiflora, Carpinus laxiflora and Quercus mongolica.[2]
Uses
Cantharellus anzutake is an edible mushroom, long labeled as C. cibarius. Scientists have described a method of obtaining a pure C. anzutake culture from mycorrhizae, and reported repeated fruiting of potted pine seedlings inoculated with the culture, potentially making the cultivation feasible.[3][4]
