Jostein, That's interesting! My father was a good mushroom "hunter", i.e. he knew when, where and how to find them. But in a way, we were "snobbish": we focused primarily on some "elite" mushrooms that we liked and ate. And we were not taking some of those that other people around us would g

Igor, they have been moved to a different genus in the same botanical family, but are definitely related. In Norway we use kantareller as a common denomination for all the mushrooms carrying their spores on what looks like branched ribs rather than tightly packed lamellas (gills?) (eg. the a

I didn't even know those ones were also called chanterelles. I am looking at the images posted on the web for "Craterellus tubaeformis" and for most of those, - I would never have called them "chanterelles" . And we were not gathering/eating them. By the way, - the wikipedia page mentions "chan

Chanterelle is the name I was trying to pull out of my brains data bank...I have eaten them but over here we have something called a JAck O-Lantern which -could- be mistaken for them and those are poisonous - those are close to looking like what you have photo'ed.  There is a brightly colored C

Thanks for comments! You are probably right about background and about ends of bulbs being too bright. The funny thing is: there is almost no precessing of the photo! I had white balance corrected, cropped (slightly) and dialed vibrancy down a little. It was the first time I tried to use wide lens
