Pan-fry in butter with a little garlic and parsley as a side or on toast, letting them release and reabsorb their own moisture. They also work well folded into scrambled eggs or an omelette, or simmered briefly in a cream sauce for pasta or chicken.
An excellent edible with firm flesh and a mild, slightly peppery and fruity flavour. It is good fried in butter and works well with eggs, in sauces and cream dishes; cook it gently as it can release water, and avoid overcooking which toughens it.
The main dangerous lookalike is the Jack o’lantern (Omphalotus illudens, and the European Omphalotus olearius), which is toxic and causes severe sickness; it grows in clumps on wood or stumps and has true sharp gills rather than blunt forked ridges. The false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) is also confused with it but has thinner, true gills and a more orange colour, and is best avoided.
