Cantharellus guyanensis is a tropical South American species of mushroom-forming fungus in the chanterelle genus (Cantharellus), first described by Camille Montagne from French Guiana in 1854.[2]
It has since also been found in Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and Brazil . The fruit bodies have a bright orange cap colour and occur in medium- to large-sized troops. C. guyanensis seems to prefer sand-rich soil and forms ectomycorrhiza with a putatively wide range of host trees and shrubs including Coccoloba, Guapira, and Neea. Its congeners Cantharellus aurantioconspicuus, C. amazonensis, and C. protectus, all described from Brazil, are similar species.[3]
Although edible, C. guyanensis seems to be shunned by the Patamona people of Guyana who however use several other mushroom species occurring in their land.[4] Known as "chanterelle de Guyane" in French, the species is presumably eaten in French Guiana.[5]
