INTRODUCTION

The term Veined Fungi covers the genera Cantharellus, Craterellus, Gomphus, and Polyozellus, (the chanterelles), and some other species whose spore-bearing surface is wrinkled, veined or ridged, but not gill-like. We are fortunate to have a very good account of the chanterelles on the Internet that contains a "Key to Pacific Northwest Chanterelles, Chanterelle-Like Mushrooms, and Look-Alikes". It begins at page 30 of a publication called

Ecology and Management of Commercially Harvested Chanterelles,
by David Pilz, Lorelei Norvell, Eric Danell, and Randy Molina,
and may be found at
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/255711924_USDA-FS_PNW_Research_Station_-Ecology_and_Management_of_Commercially_Harvested_Chanterelle_Mushrooms

The chanterelles considered there are listed in the index and described in Chanterelles. (The name Cantharellus roseocanus is used in place of Cantharellus cibarius var. roseocanus.)

The Chanterelles key also has a description for a chanterelle more recently described from Oregon, and also found in California and Washington, Cantharellus cascadensis. That description is derived fromthe original 2003 description, with Further Notes from Siegel & Schwarz (2016). There are also three Polyozellus species added at the end of that key, newly described in 2017. All four of these species are illustrated in the Gallery below, along with the other chanterelles.

 

The other veined fungi included here are not likely to be confused with chanterelles. Most of them are small members of genera most of whose members have well-formed gills: Marasmius, Mycena, Hemimycena, and Arrhenia. Rimbachia has characteristics in common with gilled mushrooms as well. Stereopsis humphreyi is a distinctive small white species with a stem and gill-less cap. Cudonia circinans is in a genus traditionally associated with cup-fungi and is the only ascomycete considered here. Some of the so-called crust and parchment fungi have a vein-like surface, but many require microscopic identification or are seldom recorded. Four that are recognizable and fairly common are described here: Phlebia radiata, Phlebia tremellosa, Plicatura nivea, and Plicaturopsis crispa.

 

KEY TO VEINED FUNGI AND DESCRIPTIONS

1a Upright fruitbodies with vein-like folds on the underside of a cap (usually running down onto the upper part of the stem) or on the outside of a funnel-like fruitbody, 5 cm or more tall when mature, generally growing on the ground (See the Chanterelles Key, mentioned in the introduction, and illustrations in a Gallery below)
