Similar species
Several other species of chanterelle may be found in western North America:
- C. californicus
- C. cibarius var. roseocanus
- C. formosus
- C. subalbidus
Additionally, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Chroogomphus tomentosus, and species in the genera Craterellus, Gomphus, Omphalotus, and Polyozellus may have a somewhat similar appearance to C. cascadensis.
