Ovana svampplockare kan möjligen förväxla den bleka kantarellen med en trattskivling men de har tunna och tättsittande skivor. Unga exemplar av vita riskor (t ex luden vitriska och ettervitriska) kan ibland påminna om blek kantarell men bryter man sönder en bit av en vitriska så utsöndrar den en vit mjölkliknande saft.
