It is in strong decline in many countries of Europe since it is very sensitive to air emissions by traffic and agriculture. It is protected by law in Slovenia. However, in Trenta valley the species is still quite common. It usually appears in large colonies having several tens of fruitbodies. Growing scattered in a large group of more than 30 fruitbodies; pilei diameter up to 7 cm, stipe up to 10 cm long and 2.1 cm in diameter; smell distinctive, fresh, typical on chanterelles, pleasant; taste mild, pleasant; flesh brittle, fibrous; SP yellowish, oac6.
