This colorful mushroom corsage grew on an old maple stump in the King House Museum’s rear yard. Scientifically known as Cantharellus Cinnebarinus, according to an Internet reference, it is also called the Red Chanterelle and is native to the Eastern U. S., more often found as attractive singletons. The reference claimed that Red Chanterelles are edible, but didn’t mention what they would taste like.
