Cantharellus aurantioconspicuus is described here from Atlantic Forest from Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil and compared to C. guyanensis. Its main features are the consistently orange pileus, the broad (up to 2 mm) and non-interveined lamellae, the solid stipe, basidia that bear mostly six sterigmata and the thin-walled hyphal extremities at the cap surface.
