Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, commonly known as the false chanterelle, is a species of fungus in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. It is found across several continents, growing in woodland and heathland , and sometimes on woodchips used in gardening and landscaping.
Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca is the most widely distributed species, found on several continents. [21] The other species are not well-known and have more limited ranges. [20] Fruit bodies grow on the ground in woodlands, on moss, and peat, and on woodchips. [19] Hygrophoropsis is a saprophytic genus, and causes brown rot in the wood it colonises. [19]
The Hygrophoropsidaceae are a family of mushrooms that are gilled in appearance but lie within the Boletales.The family contains 18 species within two genera: [1] Leucogyrophana and Hygrophoropsis, with the best-known member being the "false chanterelle", Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca.
The false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) has a similar appearance and can be confused with the chanterelle. Distinguishing factors are that false chanterelles have true gills, while chanterelles have folds.
The false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) has finer, more orange gills and a darker cap. It is sometimes regarded as poisonous. [3] [4] The very similar jack-o'-lantern mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) and its sister species (Omphalotus olivascens) are very poisonous, though not lethal. They have true gills (unlike chanterelles) which are ...

The Hygrophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales.Originally conceived as containing white-spored, thick-gilled agarics (gilled mushrooms), including Hygrophorus and Hygrocybe species (the waxcaps or waxy caps), DNA evidence has extended the limits of the family, so it now contains not only agarics, but also basidiolichens and corticioid fungi.
Fruit bodies of Hygrophoropsis macrospora have a cream- to tan-coloured cap with a felt-like surface texture. The gills are forked and yellowish, with a decurrent attachment to the stipe. [3] Hygrophoropsis macrospora differs from H. aurantiaca mainly by its larger spore size, measuring 8.0–11.0 (sometimes up to 13.0) by 3.0–4.5 (5.0) μm.
