I'm thinking Chanterelle, but how to be sure?

Any experts around here?


No way, Jose! Once upon a time, I could have made a few educated
guesses, but I would now have to look up in books. Chanterelle,
it ain't, though.

It looks rather big for a Chanterelle (12ish cm across). False
Chanterelle is smaller than the "normal" Chanterelle (and can also be
poisonous to some). July is also a bit early for FC. Pity there are no
pics of the undersides. One of the UK Russulas perhaps? Am sure there
will be an expert along soon to ID it.
