Hygrocybe cantharellus, commonly known as chanterelle waxy cap, is an agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. The European Hygrocybe lepida was previously referred to this name, ^[2] but is now known to be distinct. ^[3]

The orangish cap is up to 2.5 centimetres (1 in) wide and the reddish stem 8 cm (3+1⁄4 in) tall and 4 mm (3⁄16 in) thick. ^[4] It can resemble members of its genus such as the uncommon H. coccineocrenata . ^[4]

It is found in North America ^{[5] [4]} and Australia. ^[6]
