About

Craterellus ignicolor is an edible fungus, also known as the flame-colored chanterelle. It was first described as C. ignicolor in 1975 from Tennessee, USA; prior to 1975, it was referred to as Cantharellus lutescens and C. infundibuliformis var. luteolus. In 2000, DNA analysis showed that this chanterelle should be classified within Craterellus, rather than in Cantharellus as previously thought.
