These two photos show a large cluster of Orange Chanterelles.
Notice their curving effect in the lower photo, middle left.
Literally thousands of Chanterelles could be found on this well-manicured farm lawn.

Here are two close-up photos of the Orange Chanterelle.
The lower one is extremely gourmet. It was seen quite a distance from the other patch above.

Here are three photos of Yellow Chanterelles, followed by a close-up of the underside.
All Chanterelles are edible, but some may not be so "gourmet" as others.

These are not Chanterelles, but they cluster individually in groups like Chanterelles.
This is an odd variety of black mushroom. I could find only two possibilities in my guidebooks:
Old Man Of The Woods (strobilomyces floccopus) or Violet Cortinarius (cortinarius violaceus).
Both of these dark varieties are considered "edible but with caution" (whatever that may mean).

The following are close-up photos of two of these black ones.

To repeat myself:
Use common sense, but beware!
