Found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, it was originally described in 1997 as a variety of Cantharellus cibarius,[3] and later promoted to distinct species status in 2012.[1]

Cantharellus roseocanus was first described in 1997 by Scott A. Redhead as a variety of Cantharellus cibarius.[4] In 2012, it became its own species.[5]
