Nice ones, lam3164. I don't think these fungi are chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius) though, but perhaps false chanterelles (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) or jack-o'-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus sp.). The fungi in your photos have gills and the chanterelle has what is sometimes called veins or false gills.
Nice finding lam3164,from the photos it seems a chanterelle,but iam not 100% sure,so dont eat them,ok? :) see this link https://www.google.pt/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCwQFjAFahUKEwjil6iWv_rIAhWHlxoKHWF2AFs&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FChanterelle&usg=AFQjCNG79gMr70a4a5trTsJ7DggXZguYBw&sig2=-HyS-nyLY8OK1YrNj8_OVA
