Sinuous chanterelle is a distinct fungus with wavy, leaf-like gills underneath its cap, which is often a pale shade. It prefers growing in mossy forest areas, particularly with conifer trees. Fascinatingly, it forms beneficial relationships with these trees, helping them absorb nutrients while receiving sugars in return. Its fruiting bodies emerge mainly during the cooler months.
