Chanterelle gray (Craterellus sinuosus)
Ua:
Funnel-shaped, with uneven wavy edges, diameter 3-6 cm. The inner surface is smooth, gray-brown; the outer is covered with lighter folds resembling plates. The pulp is thin, rubbery-fibrous, without a certain smell and taste.
La'au fa'aola:
Folded, sinewy-lamellar, light, gray-ash, often with a light coating.
Spora pauta:
Uiti.
Vaʻa:
Smoothly turning into a hat, widened in the upper part, height 3-5 cm, thickness up to 0,5 cm. Color is gray, ash, gray-brown.
Faʻasalalau:
The gray chanterelle is sometimes found in deciduous and mixed forests from late July to early October. Often grows in large clumps.
Ituaiga tutusa:
The gray chanterelle (almost) looks like a horn-shaped funnel (Craterellus cornucopiodes), which lacks plate-like folds (the hymenophore is actually smooth).
Mea'ai:
Lelei, but actually a tasteless mushroom (as, indeed, the traditional yellow chanterelle – Cantharellus cibarius).
