Yeah, I had the good sense to not pick the slimy one. I only go after Chanterelles. Cheers. Doran,

Not sure if you are new to picking but if you cut them at the ground level leaving the rootball behind they will regrow again and again even this season. Also the slimy one in the third photo may not be edible, but i may be wrong. It looks similar to an amenita. It appears alot of the chantrelles in your photos were pulled out of the ground.

There and at our South Farm we looked for chesnut stumps (now all gone) and would find beef straks -- a reddish toung like mushroom. When fried in butter they exuded a red liguid that combined with the browning butter - incredible. In the fields we picked campestra. We picked rusala )did not eat) and stayed away from the deadly amenita muscara.
