Etymology
Chanterelle comes from French chanter 'to sing' plus the small ending -elle 'small', and it is the same root as the English word chant. One idea is people called the mushroom a 'little singer' because its golden, trumpet-like cap looks like a tiny pipe, so the name helps you remember this prized edible mushroom.
