Maire, Cantharellus tubaeformis var. lutescens Fr., Helvella tubaeformis Schaeff. - Habitat: light mixed wood edge, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica, Larix decidua, Salix eleagnos dominant trees; slightly inclined mountain slope, north aspect; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground; in half shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3-5 deg C, elevation 1.005 m (3.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: moss covered soil under young Picea abies trees. Comments: Craterellus lutescens is generally considered as quite rare mushroom. It is in strong decline in many countries of Europe since it is very sensitive to air emissions by traffic and agriculture. It is protected by law in Slovenia. However, in Trenta valley the species is still quite common. It usually appears in large colonies having several tens of fruitbodies. Growing scattered in a large group of more than 30 fruitbodies; pilei diameter up to 7 cm, stipe up to 10 cm long and 2.1 cm in diameter; smell distinctive, fresh, typical on chanterelles, pleasant; taste mild, pleasant; flesh brittle, fibrous; SP yellowish, oac6.
