WARNING
When eating any wild mushroom it is imperative that you be certain of the identification and that the mushroom is edible. This applies even to mushrooms you purchase. It is further recommended that the first few times you try a particular species (or even a particular strain) of mushroom you consume only small quantities. Some individuals may react adversely to certain species (or even strains) of mushroom in a different manner than other individuals do, including mushrooms widely accepted as edible by the general population (and even including mushrooms sold in grocery stores). Such idiosyncratic reactions usually take the form of gastric disturbance.
Although culinary experts often recommend mixing various types of mushrooms (many recipes listed below suggest such mixing) this practice is unwise unless you have consumed the mushroom types involved separately many times without any adverse reactions. Should you experience an adverse reaction to a particular type of mushroom you will want to know which type of mushroom to avoid in the future. Due to the subtle nature of the flavor of Canthaellus cibarius it is is unwise to mix it with other types of mushrooms. The flavor can easily be overwhelmed by other species of mushrooms. In the following recipes some chefs suggest mixing chanterelles with other species either to create a more complex flavor or in order to economize. In addition to creating a risk of reaction to a dish that would leave one unsure which mushroom to be careful of, such mixing destroys the individual subtlety of the flavor of chanterelles.
Another consideration is that any mushrooms you eat should be fresh. You would not eat rotted meat, co don't eat spoiled mushrooms. Fresh chanterelles should be dry and show no sign of rot or mold. If kept cool and allowed to breath fresh chanterelles will keep for a long time as mushrooms go. But in the unlikely event you can keep a supply long enough to spoil it is better to toss them than risk an unpleasant experience.
As a final note over-consumption of any mushroom can lead to gastric discomfort. One can be very tempted to over-consume those mushrooms that taste the best going down.
