_Phellodon_: Fruit-body tough and fibrous: spores white and ornamented with small spines, e.g. _P. niger_ (Fries) Karsten. _Hydnellum_: Fruit-body tough and fibrous: spores brown and ornamented with irregular bumps and bosses, e.g. _H. scrobiculatum_ (Secretan) Karsten. _Bankera_: Fruit-body fleshy: spores white and ornamented with small spines, e.g. _B. fuliginoalbum_ (Fries) Pouzar. _Illustrations_: Hvass 280; LH 61; NB 153³; WD 53⁴; Z 61. [Illustration: Plate 53. Tough or leathery fungi: Spores whitish and borne on spines] (ii) Chanterelles and relatives ~Cantharellus cibarius~ Fries Chanterelle _Cap_: 30-100 mm. _Stem_: width 15-25 mm; length 30-70 mm. _Description_: Cap: convex then flattened, irregularly wavy, more or less top-shaped, depressed and smooth or slightly roughened at centre, egg-yellow or lemon-chrome with flush of orange and with the margin incurved at first. Stem: short, stout, tapered downwards, fleshy and similarly coloured to the cap. Gills: replaced by irregularly branched yellow folds which may form a network near the margin and at the apex of the stem over which the folds run down irregularly (decurrent). Flesh: with pleasant, fruity smell, yellow but paler on drying. Spore-print: pale cream-colour. Spores: medium sized, ellipsoid, thin-walled, smooth, 8-10 × 5-6 µm in size and not becoming bluish grey in solutions containing iodine. Marginal and facial cystidia: absent. Basidia: 2-8 spored. _Habitat_ & _Distribution_: Very common in troops in deciduous woods especially those with beech and oak. _General Information_: Easily recognised by its folds and absence of true gills beneath the cap and the overall yellow colour. This fungus is the edible chanterelle of the continental market, where it is considered of very high quality; it can be purchased in this country in tins. _C. friesii_ Quélet is of a bright apricot colour with lilaceous or rose-coloured flesh. The ‘false chanterelle’ _Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca_ (Fries) Maire already discussed (see p. 106) has true gills and is reddish orange in colour. _Illustrations_: Hvass 182; LH 59; NB 123²; WD 83¹.

Fleshy but firm fungi: Spores pale-coloured and borne on irregular folds (False gills)] ~Craterellus cornucopioides~ (Fries) Persoon Horn of plenty _Cap_: 22-80 mm. _Stem_: width 15-25 mm; length 25-80 mm. _Description_: Cap: funnel-shaped, membranous to leathery, but limp, dark brown or almost black in wet weather, but on drying becoming dull brown or sepia, slightly scaly and with irregularly wavy margin. Stem: short, blackish and hollow. Gills: absent, replaced by a smooth to irregularly wrinkled, ash-grey surface. Flesh: sepia but drying out greyish ochre. Spore-print: cream-colour.
