Please ID. False Chantrelle? Jack O'lantern?

#11296651 - 10/21/09 11:26 PM (16 years, 10 months ago)

I excitedly picked this thinking it might be a chantrelle of cool color...but looks like its either a False Chantrelle(Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) or a Jack O'lantern(Omphalotus olearius). Im leaning toward the H. aurantiaca.

Habitat: Wood - Found in a patch of grass, low growing weeds, lots of greenery, under coniferous trees and near a grassy field. About 20 yards from a handful of Boletes.

Gills: Gills are orange, forked, attached to the lip of the cap and run down to the stem and stop shortly after turning into the stem.

Stem: orange, bare. Off center, tapers toward the ground.

Cap: wavy, not circular. sunken in the middle. dark orange to burnt orange, colors seem to be in rings with the center the darkest orange.

Spore print color: have just prepared the mushroom for spore print. seems identifiable without?

Bruising: No color change was observed.

Location: Picked in Seattle Washington, USA

I've seen a lot of western chants but something doesn't look right with those. Gills look wierd. A cross section photo would be helpful.
