More Chanterelle Look Alike Pictures
and a gill comparison
Mature Jack O'Lantern specimens
The trick to identify them is in the gills
Here is a
gill comparison of False Chanterelles, Chanterelles and Jack O'Lantern
The illustration
above compares the three species
(A) False Chanterelle Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca
(B) Yellow or Golden Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius)
(C) The Jack O'Lantern, Omphalotus illudens
As always, if you
aren't sure of your identification consult a field guide or a trusted expert. Bottom line
as always: when in doubt throw it out!
