Do they smell like apricots?

Unfortunately i lost my sense of smell from covid in 2020

I'm fairly certain those are the good ones. Definitely not false based on shape and color and the gills don't match jack o lanterns. You can send me some and I'll test them out for you.

They look like chanterelles to me. The ridges going up from the stem are a pretty good indicator. Break one open and see if it changes color. We harvest gallons worth of them around our property, but we never see them in the summer where we are. They only pop up in the fall for us.

Those are chanterelles. Enjoy!
Fwiw, when I’ve cooked them, I throw them in a skillet without any oil or butter and heat them for a bit. It draws out the moisture. Once the liquid cooks out, add butter or oil and sauté as usual

I'd eat them. You need to read up on them and be sure for yourself, though.

They show up annually in the back yard of my friend's house and dot the length of his 1/3 acre lot.
I'm not a mycologist but, all the signs were there that these were chanterelles so I sauteed a few in butter and ate them up. Thankfully my presumption were correct. Now we look forward to the mid summer harvest.
The mushrooms in your picture look very similar to the ones in his yard. Break one open, should be soft delicate edges with white flesh on the interior. Check other areas of the yard extending out from the tree. Chanterelles are mycorrhizal and can grow up from the roots of nearby trees.

Easiest way to tell us split it down the middle and look at the color. If it’s very white and kinda looks like string cheese, you’re in the clear.
I’ve never picked up on the apricot smell personally. They’re always in hardwood forest and grow in clusters but rarely share a stem.
Jack O Lanterns are typically in a big connected pile growing on dead wood and have true gills. Pretty easy to tell the difference if you know what you’re looking at
