Cantharellus persicinus, the peach or pink chanterelle, is a fungus native to the Appalachian region of eastern North America.[1] Like other popular edible chanterelles, it is a member of the genus Cantharellus. It is suspected of being mycorrhizal, found in association with oaks and eastern hemlock.[1]

DNA analysis has shown C. persicinus to be a genetically valid species.[2]
