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

Any experts around here?

thanks,

Wrong size, wrong colour, wrong shape - apart from that just like a
Chanterelle - got it, thanks.

(Think we need one of those guided walks in Epping Forest with a local
society - we did a good one recently that showed how dog poo was
destroying ecology of sparse grasses...here boy, Vetch, Vetch).

Thanks to all,

Guessing Paxillus involutus, but just a guess of course.

A neighbor claimed to be able to eat nearly a kg before
getting sick, but I'd definitely not try it!

Just think of what happened to Nicholas Evans & Family and they were
expert fungi pickers!

What did happen to Nicholas Evans and Family, Sacha? I've never heard of them.

Author of The Horse Whisperer, lives in a village near here. Up in
Scotland (IIRC) he and his family gathered mushrooms and ended up on
dialysis and lucky to be alive. I have no idea where or how they are
now. But gathering mushrooms was a regular thing with all of them and
they were said to be 'experts'.
