Easy, Frodo

I’ve never seen a chanterelle of that color. Ours are always the pumpkin orange variety. For whatever reason, we rarely see them until the fall here.

Not a chanterelle. False chanterelle?

Shouldn’t the gills run more down the stem?

First good rain coming up and they'll pop in the areas I know.

Enjoy your Non Chanterelle experience.

Chant's gills go down the stem. That's probably a jack o lantern but I wouldn't attempt to put it in my mouth.

Thin papery gills like that are always a dead giveaway to not eat

Hopefully he read the responses before he ate his trophy chanterelle.

I didn't eat it. It was about 200 feet from my real chanty patch, which is really sparse this year so I haven't picked any. I just wanted to pick this big bastard and bring it home to see if it really was a giant world record.

Also, I do have another patch of jackolanterns by the house but they don't tend to pop up for another few weeks so I wasn't immediately tipped off to this one being a jack because it seems too early.
