The message k
from Sacha contains these words:

A Google image search says 'yes'! I don't know what 'girolles' are in
English. And there are some tiny little yellow fungi which I don't think
I've seen used in England.


Girolles are Cantharellus cibarius, which we in this country mistakenly
call 'chanterelles'. The smaller yellowish fungus might well be a
chanterelle - C. infundibuloformis - you'll find both from time to time
in Tesco's Woodland Fungi selection - correctly labelled!


I've never seen a Woodland Fungi section in Tesco! Perhaps they think it's
a bit too sophisticated for Devon folk. ;-) I shall have to start a
one-woman campaign! Thanks for the info on the 'chanterelles'!
