Chestnut color cap with white margin

Depressed at stalk, stem matches cap color

This is before I started cutting the specimen in half. My guess is Chestnut Bolete.

Waxcaps and Allies (Family Hygrophoraceae)

Date

Description

Will revisit in a few days to see how it matures
Orange cap with yellow center
Stem matches the yellow color on cap
Could not determine stem attachment at this time
Very small specimen

9/4 additional pictures. It dried out, but I can confirm gills.
Stem has flattened but is pretty strong. I can hold the stem base without the cap and stem bending which I didn’t expect.

Red Chanterelle (Cantharellus cinnabarinus)

Date

September 3, 2024 11:05 AM EDT

Description

Two
Growing at the base of a steep creek bed, in soil and among roots in mostly hardwood area
Looks a little different than other C.cinnabarinus
Cap is salmon color not brilliant red
Maybe due to aging?
Gills come further down the stem and the color is lighter where they attach, cross veins, and forked, decurrent gills visible from
a side view
Stem is a much darker orange color
White mycelium seen at base (pic 1)

ultimately selected red chanterelle as the ID, because no other options are available

Gills bright yellow, close, some short and decurrent running way down the stem
Brown caps, with some yellowing, margin uneven
Stem yellow with brown not sure if the later is spore deposits
One cap clearly has brown spores deposited on it
Retained specimen if we need to see the flesh color
Mainly pine trees but these are growing next to a hardwood (see pics)
