Woolly chanterelle
Turbinellus floccosus
A species of Turbinellus. Also known as Woolly false chanterelle, Scaly vase.
The shaggy chanterelle, bearing only a slight resemblance to its well-known, palatable chanterelle relatives, is characterized by its vase-like form and prominent, light-colored folds and creases on its underside, rather than the gills found on more desirable chanterelles. For some individuals, consuming shaggy chanterelles can lead to gastrointestinal distress, including nausea, emesis, and loose stools, while others experience no adverse effects whatsoever. Consequently, this variety is not classified as a premium culinary mushroom.
