False chanterelle mushroom
Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca
43.3495, -124.229
Field Notes
Description:
orange mushroom that resembles a chanterelle superficially
Unlike chanterelles, however, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca features true gills, rather than false gills--and it is a soft, flimsy mushroom when compared to the hard-fleshed, sturdy chanterelles.
Defining features for Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca include the repeatedly forked, orange gills; the soft cap surface; the white spore print; and the dextrinoid spores. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/hygrophoropsis_aurantiaca.html

Shore acres st park hiking trail near Simpson reef
