Cantharellus subalbidus, the white chanterelle, is a fungus native to California and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is similar in appearance to other chanterelles except for its cream to white color and orange bruising.[2]
Cantharellus subalbidus may form a mycorrhizal association with species of pine, hemlock, Douglas-fir, and Pacific madrone.[3][4][5] C. subalbidus has been found to be more common in old-growth forests than in younger forests.[6]
The mushroom is white to cream in color,[7] later darkening to yellow-orange.[3] The cap is 5–15 cm (2–6 in) wide, flat to depressed, becoming infundibuliform (vaselike) with age.[7] The stalk is 2–7 cm tall and 1–5 cm wide, tapered, with yellow-brown spots due to bruising and age.[7] The spores are white, elliptical, and smooth.[7]
Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America:
Additionally, Leucopaxillus albissimus,[7] Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Chroogomphus tomentosus, and species in the genera Craterellus, Gomphus, Omphalotus, and Polyozellus may have a somewhat similar appearance to C. subalbidus.
A choice edible, they can be prepared by being sautéed or cutting into chunks and baking at 350 °F (177 °C) for 10 minutes.[8]

Cantharéllus subálbidus — гриб из рода Лисичка (Cantharellus) семейства Лисичковые (Cantharellaceae).
Широко распространён на северо-западе Северной Америки. Встречается часто, одиночно или небольшими группами, в хвойных лесах. Вероятно, образует микоризу с сосной, псевдотсугой менциса и земляничным деревом менциса, а также другими деревьями.
Внешне и микроскопически C. subalbidus напоминает лисичку обыкновенную, от которой отличается более светлым цветом плодовых тел, отсутствием «абрикосового» запаха и более мелкими и светлыми спорами. Tricholoma magnivelare отличается ненизбегающими пластинками, сильным островатым запахом и хорошо развитым покрывалом. Leucopaxillus albissimus отличается густым, хорошо заметным белым мицелием.
