edibility: choice Craterellus is a genus of generally edible fungi similar to the closely related chanterelles, with some species recently reassigned to this genus. They are distinguished by their lack of gill-like structures on the underside of their caps.
- C. cornucopioides, or black trumpet, is dark coloured, almost black and looks rather unattractive, but has a very good flavour.
- C. tubaeformis, or yellowfoot, is a yellowish-brown and trumpet-shaped.
- C. lutescens, similar to C. tubaeformis but more brightly coloured.
Both species are gathered commercially and, unlike Cantharellus, can be easily preserved by drying.
Molecular phylogenetics have been applied to the problem of discriminating between Craterellus and Cantharellus genera. Results indicate that the presence of a hollow stem may be a synapomorphy to identify Craterellus species. C. cornucopioides appears to be a single polymorphic species, while C. tubaeformis may be two separate genetic groups separated by geography.[1]

Phylogenetic relationships of some Craterellus species and the Cantharellus genus based on DNA sequences. C. tubaeformis as previously described is two separate genetic groups, corresponding to Europe-eastern North America and western North America.[1] External links
