Look low to the ground for the gentle apricot smell and the egg-yolk colour, and check that the underside has blunt forking ridges running down the stem rather than true thin gills. Cut or twist them carefully and leave small ones to grow, since patches return to the same spot year after year. Always be certain of identification and avoid the false chanterelle and the toxic orange jack-o-lantern, which has true gills and grows in clumps on wood.
The main dangerous lookalike is the Jack o’lantern (Omphalotus illudens, and the European Omphalotus olearius), which is toxic and causes severe sickness; it grows in clumps on wood or stumps and has true sharp gills rather than blunt forked ridges.
