Cautions: When you can recognize those blunt-edged, crisscrossing ridges, you won't confuse chanterelles with anything else. However, take extra care at first that you do not have the poisonous jack-o-'lantern (see Poisonous Mushrooms). Jack-o'-lanterns have knifelike gills and grow in the tight clusters on wood or buried wood, rather than on the ground. Cooking Hints: Chanterelles are tough and need long, slow cooking, but when properly prepared their flavor is excellent. Saute slowly in butter until tender, season with salt, pepper and parsley, and serve on crackers
