Chanterelles are small to medium-sized mushrooms with a distinctive funnel shape and wavy, irregular cap edges. Their caps range from bright yellow to deep orange, with a smooth, slightly velvety texture. The undersides feature false gills that are forked and run down the stem, which is sturdy and tapers towards the base. The overall appearance is organic and slightly asymmetrical, with a natural, earthy look suitable for a hyper-realistic Western setting.
