Color ranges from buff to deep orange, in specimens from a half-inch to five inches in diameter.
The hedgehog tastes like a mild version of the chanterelle. When chopped it yields small pieces. Trap its fragrance in Japanese-style soups, omelettes, and ravioli, or serve warm over salad greens. Nice and crunchy. Delivers hefty earthy flavor, to cook with corn, scallops, and pasta.
