Looks like something was eating the bugs in the wood. Bears are known to shred old trees looking for bugs.

Your gyms are Gymnopilus luteus.
Nice flock of chanterelles there.

i thought they were Gymnopilus luteus but i second guessed myself because they were growing on pine. I thought i remembered seeing that luteus grow on hardwood not pines. They are active though, i saw the same ones last year.
yea the chanterelle patch was on the side of a dirt road and had lots of pine trees nearby. Today i saw over 500 pins, in a couple days ill be golden.

That's awesome! Chanterelles are my favorite wild mushroom. But you may have to wait more than a few days for those pins to mature...I was reading an Forest Service publication all about Chanterelles and appearently they are very slow growing and long-lived mushrooms. Specimens were observed to survive for up to 90 days. This was referring to PNW chanterelles (Cantharellus formosus) but I would imagine it is also true for those in the Eastern US.

ive only been waiting a 3/4 days for chant pins to get larger, i might try waiting a little longer and see what happens, i might be able to get more size out of them. I saw a document that said they can take around 40 days from pins to full maturity, im not sure what species it was though.

I have been told by people with experience with chanterelles that they do indeed take a "long time" to grow...you might want to try waiting a little longer checking them often to get them before the bugs.

yep yep as apposed to most other mushrooms depositing millions of spores over a short period of time and decompose, Chants only deposit a few hundred thousand over a few months and tend decompose very slowly.
as far as getting them before the bugs Chants tend not to be parasited very often. the rule is if its really dirty and has no parasites with other field notes its probably a chant. another thing is they tend two grow in 2's one fully mature and a pin growing just under it if you just cut the main mushroom you can come back later and pick the pin after its fully developed. plus they re-fruit in the same place every year
