Having done a search for Cantharellus infundibuloformis the only
reference I can find is from ............... you in January 2004!!

Could you give me a reference, please?

Just looked it up and I err - it's infundibuliformis...

Sorry about the mis-spelling - I've probably been doing that for - um -
fifty years or more...

Ah! What a difference a single letter makes! Many thanks for all those
references.

I've done a quick search on Google and it came up with this:

Cantharellus infundibuliformis: this mushroom is a wonderful and often
overlooked edible, every bit as good as its cousin, Cantharellus
cibarius, the "true" chanterelle.

Hmmm! So which *is* the true chanterelle. You're right in that there is
confusion!

Am I right in thinking that infundibuliformis means "funnel-shaped"? The
girolles that I've seen on sale in France have certainly been
funnel-shaped.


So what are the very tiny, nail (builders, not finger) shaped ones that I've
eaten in France - yellow, round top.
