The Chanterelle Mushroom is orange or yellow, meaty and funnel-shaped. It has a fruity smell, somewhat like apricots and a mildly peppery taste and is considered an excellent edible mushroom. The Chanterelle is common in Northern Europe, parts of North American and Mexico and can also be found in Asia and Africa. Many popular methods of cooking chanterelles include them in sautes, souffels, cream sauces, and soups. They are not typically eaten raw, as their rich and complex flavor is best released when cooked. Their flavor essences are fat soluble and therefore they are excellent for sauting in Butter or Cream. 

Truffles are probably the most expensive mushroom there buy magic mushrooms is and probably the most unattractive. There are several varieties of truffles including the black and white. The truffle grows underground and to find them, it was traditional to use pigs who love truffles to find them. Nowadays there are dogs that have been trained to hunt them out. The animals find them by their fragrance which is very pungent. When using truffles in cooking, usually only a very small amount is needed. The truffle is shaved into thin slices and used as seasoning for a dish. Truffle Oil can be purchased and used for culinary purposes also. The advantage to using the oil is that it will last longer than a fresh truffle will and the flavor won't be quite as strong.
