Cantharellula umbonata, the humpback,[1] is a species of fungus in the genus Cantharellula.
The gray cap is slightly convex and 2–5 centimetres (3⁄4–2 in) wide. The gills are decurrent and mostly forked. The stem is up to 8 cm (3 1⁄4 in) wide. The flesh is whitish and may stain reddish. The smell and taste are often mild. The spore print is white.[2] Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca has forked (but orange) gills.[2]
It is common in eastern North America, particularly in summer and autumn.[3][4] It is associated with Polytrichum and other mosses found in the southeastern United States.[4] It commonly grows in boggy areas and under conifers.[2] It is edible, and best when young.[4]
