      After all these years I really should know the difference by now but can people tell me what they think about these.

        Andreas’ word will be the best but I think the top one is Cantharellus cibarius, and the others all appear to be Hygrophoropsis taxa – I’m intrigued by image #3.

          Thanks Chris. I am pleased you agree with what I thought but I had someone say the last one(three photos) was a true Chantarelle. I will wait to see if Andreas has any thoughts.

          I called the third one H var pallida but that was before I had even heard of fuscosquamula and macrospora.

            The spores of the third specimen were dextrinoid and the wrong size for Cantherellus so unless Andreas disagrees I am sticking with Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca.

              That last photograph shows repeatedly forking true gills – definitely Hygrophoropsis
