Golden Chanterelle This is why I don't pick and eat wild mushrooms... while I am 99.95% sure that these are real chanterelles, that little bit of niggling doubt would probably make me convince myself into being sick...

"Cantharellus cibarius", commonly known as the chanterelle, is a fungus. It is orange or yellow, meaty and funnel-shaped. On the lower surface, underneath the smooth cap, it has gill-like ridges that run almost all the way down its stipe, which tapers down seamlessly from the cap. It emits a fruity aroma, reminiscent of apricots and a mildly peppery taste and is considered an excellent edible mushroom.
