When trying to get an ID on mushrooms, best practice is to get a picture of the whole mushroom from pretty much every angle (top, side view, underside of cap), a cross section of the stipe (stem) and cap, and a picture of the place where it's growing. We also need to know the general location in the world for an accurate ID, and a description of the growth environment (what kind of trees are in the forest around you, what kind of tree is the mushroom growing on, etc.) can be helpful. All mushrooms outside of Asia can be handled, nibbled on and spit out safely, taste and odor are sometimes relevant to an ID as well. The multiple picture angles and world location are the most important things, though.

They are probably jacks (Omphalotus spp.) although it's hard to say for sure without more pictures and a location would be needed to narrow down the species. They are definitely not chanterelles.
