Smooth Chanterelle - Cantharellus confluens

Fruiting bodies were yellow and had two or more caps arising from one conjoined stem structure. The caps were yellow, bald, dry, and irregular in shape. Some were flat, while others were convex. The undersurfaces were smooth. The stipes were smooth, dry, thick, and tapered to the base.

Mycorrhizal with hardwoods - I spotted small clusters of these mushrooms growing on the ground in a deciduous forest dominated by oak.
