Dont go on just pics. There are look a likes. A positive ID for mushrooms cannot be from a pic alone.
Good advice. For each variety of mushrooms you want to pick, go with an experienced picker the first time so you can see where they grow, what they look like, smell like, etc. Also, in lieu of a partner, visual ID combined with a spore print is 99.99% accurate. Especially with chanterelles, there aren't so many look-alikes that it takes a scientist to identify. But, a free mushroom is never worth a life. Always be sure.
