https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantharellaceae The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, though the majority of species are tropical. It contains the chanterelles and related species, a group of fungi that superficially resemble agarics (gilled mushrooms) but have smooth, wrinkled, or gill-like hymenophores (spore-bearing undersurfaces). Species in the family are ectomycorrhizal, forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of trees and other plants. Many of the Cantharellaceae, including the chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), the horn of plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides) are not only edible, but are collected and marketed internationally on a commercial scale.
