Then and now
North American golden chanterelles have since been split into several species.
Field notes
For a century, Americans had the name wrong.
Sowerby painted these chanterelles in London around 1800: golden funnels with wavy rims, and underneath, not true gills but blunt, forked ridges running down the stem. Today his species is Cantharellus cibarius, the golden chanterelle of European forests, prized for a faint scent of apricots.
For most of the twentieth century, American field guides used the same name for the golden chanterelles of North American woods. They looked the same and smelled the same, so they must be the same.
They weren't. When mycologists began reading chanterelle DNA, it turned out C. cibarius is a European species that doesn't grow in North America at all. In 2013 a single study described three new species, all previously filed under cibarius, from one plot of oak woods in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Natural history is never quite finished.
