Cantharellus iuventateviridis is a species of chanterelle mushroom found in North America. In East and Central Texas, it typically grows in association with oak trees, particularly live oak and post oak, in sandy or clay soils. The fungus produces funnel-shaped to trumpet-shaped fruiting bodies with wavy, wrinkled caps that are greenish-yellow to yellowish-green in color, and measure 2-6 cm in diameter. The stipe is similar in color to the cap and measures 2-5 cm tall and 0.5-1.5 cm thick. Spores are white to pale yellow and elliptical in shape. Cantharellus iuventateviridis is often found in late summer to early fall, from August to October, in wooded areas with rich soil and abundant leaf litter.
