Transcription
Description
The species has a yellow-orange fruiting body in the shape of a club with a flat cap.[7] The flesh is white, thin, and hollow at the top.[8] The vertical side of the fruiting body normally has folds and wrinkles, but can be smooth. The spores are smooth and their spore print is pale yellow to ochre.[9]
The mushroom has a pleasant odor and a sweet taste.[8]
Chemistry
C. truncatus can bioaccumulate significant amounts of zinc,[10] and radioactive caesium-137.[11]
Similar species
Although one field guide says that it is unlikely that anyone would confuse the mushroom with another species,[12] the yellow chanterelle is distantly related to the mushroom and looks nearly the same, except for the ridges and cross-veined hymenium.[13] In North America, Clavariadelphus pallidoincarnatus (found in the West) and C. unicolor (in the East) are similar, as is C. ligula.[14] Clavariadelphus pistillaris is also similar, but the top is not flat.[7] Additionally, Macrotyphula fistulosa is tall and skinny, and Neolecta has a bright yellow head.[14]
Habitat and distribution
The mushroom's habitat is in coniferous forests from summer to autumn.[8] The mushroom is a common species.[15] The species is found at a high elevation and is widely distributed.[16]
Uses
The mushroom is edible and has a sweet taste.[8] Old mushrooms may be spongy and soft inside.[17] The species is high in nutrition and can be used for cooking.[18] One field guide says that the mushroom is one of the best to eat and has a sweet flavor that is especially appealing to some people.[19] David Arora writes that the mushroom can be sauteed and served for dessert.[1]
Medicine
The mushroom contains clavaric acid, which has been shown to reduce the rate of tumor development when given to mice.[20] Clavaric acid interferes with farnesyltransferase, an enzyme implicated in tumorigenesis, which suggests that clavaric acid may have therapeutic value in the treatment of certain cancers.[20] It has been reported that the mushrooms have significant antioxidant activity.[21]
