RE: Fungi Friday - Purple, Green and Orange Edible Mushrooms
Oh, my. I'm pretty sure I have seen chanterelles before and assumed they were poisonous! The colour, you know. lol

Its all about the gills with chantrelles. They run down the stem a bit and are veiny rather than straight. There's quite a variety of chantrelles too i have the yelliw foot ones here in the pictures but there are black trumpets and others shapes as well.

Are there other mushrooms that look like them?
Here's the closest lookalike to a chantrelle but these are too symmetrical and the gills break off into forks rather than a random vein pattern like chantrelles. https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/hygrophoropsis-aurantiaca.php

Okay, I can see the difference there.
None that have their signature veiny gill pattern. There are other yellow mushrooms out there but they usually have a skirt around the stem and symmetrical gills and are in the amanita family. I've seen yellow russula but they have symmetrical gills as well. Also the smell of chantrelles is almost sweet or fower like compared to the smell of other mushrooms.

Those are good things to know.
