Hygrocybe cantharellus, commonly known as chanterelle waxy cap, is an agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. The European Hygrocybe lepida was previously referred to this name,[2] but is now known to be distinct.[3]
The orangish cap is up to 2.5 centimetres (1 in) wide and the reddish stem 8 cm (3+1⁄4 in) tall and 4 mm (3⁄16 in) thick.[4] It can resemble members of its genus such as the uncommon H. coccineocrenata.[4]
It is found in North America[5][4] and Australia.[6]
