Chanterelles seem to be worth their weight in gold. They are golden looking, golden tasting, and golden priced. The cap is fleshy, with wavy, rounded cap margins tapering downward to meet the stem. The gills are not the usual thin straight panels hanging from the lower surface of the cap, as we see in the common store mushroom. Instead, the ridges are rounded, blunt, shallow, and widely spaced. At the edge of the cap they are forked and interconnected. The chanterelle's aroma is variously described as apricot- or peachlike. It is unmistakably different and identifiable.

Do be careful...the false chanterelle and the jack olantern look similar to the real chanterelle. Find a good mushroom ID field guide. You can ID the real thing by looking closely...it has false gills, etc. The mushroom forager's rule of thumb is to eat a small bit and see how it goes. Esp when eating wild/gathered stuff for the first time, you don't want to find you're allergic or don't tolerate something very well after eating 1/2 lb of it. Mushrooms are known to cause different reactions in different people, so proceed with care.

It has the false gills, and according to my field guide, the toxic ones only cause "gastrointestinal distress", so it's worth a shot!
