Hi,
Been reading this forum for a while, finally signed up... Thanks in advance for your feedback!
I need help with this guy... I’ve been foraging for about 5 years, but this is my first encounter with possible chanterelles…
They were found in 2 different groups, (mixed woods). 1 group next to a trail, the other down a slope. Some were close to very rotted wood, they were not in a cluster. Spore print is cream-ish.
What makes me doubt is the gills. They appear deeper than what I would expect. The smell is faint, mushroomy, did not detect obvious fruit/apricot… Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca?
