Day 95: Extremely rare, Cantharellus lanafiltris might be confused with some edible species of Chanterelle, but although they are never found in the same habitat, knowledge of the morphological distinctions should be kept in mind. Otherwise known as the Woolly-Needled Chanterelle, C. lanafiltris is tomentose on all surfaces including the swollen, sparse veins on the underside of the cap. Although not poisonous, the texture of this fungus is unpleasant to the human tongue, however, the fruiting bodies are attractive to felines of all sizes and may cause digestive disturbances if consumed by small cats.
