Do you didn't. Those are not chanterelles of any kind. You might consider not eating these unknown mushrooms (maybe tuberia or collybia or something else growing on woodchips). I cannot say for sure what they are, but I know what they are not. I know chanterelles. Chanterelles are I friend of mine. Those are no chanterelles.
Those who know don't say, those who say don't know.

Very definitely not Chantarelles. My guess (from general shape & stature) would be something in Clitocybe; a pinkish sporeprint would confirm this. Chantarelles can be distinguished by (1) a stalk that is continuous with the cap, (2) blunt, forked or netted decurrent gills, (3) white to cream-colored spores, and (4) stringy, fibrous flesh--resembling cooked chicken meat. Often they develop a sweet apricot scent, most noticeable after storage in a paper bag on the ride home. Nibbled raw they have a pleasantly peppery taste.

Looks like Hygrocybe or Psilocybin cubensis get a better picture of the stipe and a spore print, are the gills attached, is there a veil or remnants of one. Are all the stalks central. Get off your ass and describe in full detail your observations. etc. etc.

Well they do have white to cream colored spores allright.. I dunno, it sure did get me excited to see that many mushrooms though!~ --The patch is at least 20 times larger than what you see in the pic. I had a professional mycologist take a look at the pic and said; "The mushrooms in the photograph are gilled mushrooms whose genus I cannot determine on the basis of the photograph. They are certainly not any species of chanterelle." oh well..

Ya, thats the key right there, the gills. Chanterelles do not have gills like other mushrooms. They are like ridges. I got about 10 different kinds of chantys on Mt. Elphie! One grows year 'round..the winter c.

Still, it is nice to see you getting excited about finding chanterelles! With C. cibarius the books mention the pumkiny-apricoty-fruity smell, which is very distinctive, but they often do not mention the fact that a C. cibariys tears like cooked breast meat of chicken, with the same stringy consitency. good luck, happy hunting. ------------------------------------ Berkshire Mycological Society http://www.bms.iwarp.com Breitenbush 2001 Mushroom Conference October 18-21 http://www.breitenbush.freeservers.com

did you talk to peele? Oh yea i forgot what you said. too bad. Head up to the panhandle for the hurrricane party so you can redeem your pictures and collect the crooks pictures. old bulah highway mile post eight. Island in the woods 1 miles north of road. Where not a bunch of myans passing information down from one to the next so describe that mushroom better or eat it if taste good. . and have somone record your reaction. than make up any old name. and carve it in stone.
