Brazilian Chanterelle Find

Brazilian Chanterelle Find

Chanterelle (Cantharellus guyanensis) was confirmed for the first time in Brazil’s Cerrado biome using morphology plus ITS, LSU, and TEF1-α genetic markers. Nutritionally, it contained 25% crude protein, 64.2% total carbohydrates, 79.8% total digestible nutrients, and just 2% crude fat. Its fruity aroma, low moisture, high dry matter, and strong mineral profile, including 347 mg/kg iron and 28.8 g/kg potassium, make it a standout wild gourmet mushroom and regional food resource.
