Cantharellus subalbidus, the white chanterelle, is a fungus native to California and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is similar in appearance to other chanterelles except for its cream to white color and orange bruising.[2]

C. subalbidus may form a mycorrhizal association with species of pine, hemlock, Douglas-fir, and Pacific madrone.[3][4][5] C. subalbidus has been found to be more common in old-growth forests than in younger forests.[6]

Similar species

Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America:

Additionally, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Chroogomphus tomentosus, and species in the genera Craterellus, Gomphus, Omphalotus, and Polyozellus may have a somewhat similar appearance to C. subalbidus.
