Field Notes

Notes:

These mushrooms with all together in the same area. It was hard to get an underneath shot of the first one, so I took one of the one next to it. I believe that they are the same kind of mushroom

I think these are just 'lobes' on the same mushroom; this appears to have a single stem.

It's one of the chantarelles (Cantharellus sp.) not necessarily C. cibarius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanterelle

Yes, it is a Chanterelle.

Nice chunky mushroom. Mushroom caps can fuse but I am not so sure in this case without seeing the underside. Has some likeness to Chanterelle. Hope some one with expertise can help identify this. It would be good to know where (the kind of ground) these were growing -were they under fir trees ?

It almost looks that this is three mushrooms that fused. Do they ever do that??
