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.
