Those are really nice looking ones too! Chanterelles are one of the easiest to learn - not the gills are very shallow and blunt. That's the main ticket to telling them from the look alikes

Thank you all for the ID help! I wish I'd have known they were delicious and non-poisonous! Unfortunately, I saw them in Congaree National Park, SC the summer before last, so I couldn't tell exactly which species it was. But I'm much closer now to knowing than before yall's help!

Very nice patch of Chanterelles! They are excellent with any dish you would put mushrooms in! Verify the underside first, but they certainly look like the ones we collect here all fall long!

I am. I collect them all summer and fall long for the table.

They look like Chanterelles, but I'm not sure without seeing the underside. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanterelle
