Jack O'Lantern Mushrooms: A Poisonous Chanterelle Look A Like

Jack O'Lantern mushrooms also known as foxfire mushrooms or Omphalotus species, are a poisonous mushroom commonly confused with edible chanterelles.

Not deadly, sounds like -- but also not fun! Be careful out there, junior mycologist club members!

"Lookalike" is a relative term for sure. With just a little bit of practice one would never confuse the two. It's always best to learn side-by-side with someone who can show you what to look for.

A good rule is this: If you have to double-check with a book (or an app or whatever) to identify the mushroom, you do NOT know it well enough to risk eating it.
