Cantharellus appalachiensis is a species of chanterelle mushroom that grows on the ground in association with oak trees. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from May to October, often in moist, wooded areas with rich soil. The cap is 2-6 cm wide, funnel-shaped, and wavy, with a wrinkled, yellow to orange-yellow surface. The gills are wrinkled and forked, with a similar color to the cap. The stem is cylindrical, often curved, and has a white to pale yellow base. This fungus is relatively rare in Texas, but can be found in areas with abundant oak trees, such as the Lost Maples State Natural Area and the Sam Houston National Forest.
