It grows in large groups on the forest floor, often under coniferous trees. Winter chanterelle mushrooms are edible mushroom species, with a nutty and fruty flavor. Foraging these mushrooms can be done from early september to late winter.

Recipe for Yellow foot (winter chanterelle) puff rolls
I make these easy-to-make rolls with yellow foot mushrooms and cheese puff pastry during the winter season when there are not many mushrooms in the forest. Luckily, I have plenty of winter chanterelles in the nearby forests, so I can use them fresh for a day or two before the end of this year’s season.

Cleaning Yellow Foot is similar to cleaning other tube-formed mushrooms; there can be a lot of living things hidden inside. Therefore, be careful when cleaning the Yellow Foot and clean it thoroughly by splitting the stem in half and brushing the inside dirt with a brush or toothbrush. It may contain insect eggs, debris, dirt, and other insects inside the hollow stem. While these are not poisonous, they may be unappetizing.
