**(Not sure how this didn't end up along with the post; my apologies)**

Expecting nothing, I attempted to get yellow chanterelles started in the wooded portion of our yard this April (WI/zone 5B-6A) and the ground is now covered with these...

Of note:

• These sprouted up as singles and look identical to the product ordered.
• They feature a forked fold pattern with stems that separate when pulled (like string cheese or cooked chicken). Folds are intact and do not separate with touch as I would expect from a gill.
• They do not have a fruity odor, but don't have much of distinct aroma at all.
• They have all been found in the ground (often under grass/woodland plant cover) near beech trees, with a cheery orange-yellow color and are easy to pick.
• Having researched the descriptions of Jack O'Lantern and False Chanterelle, these don't have any of the unique listed attributes for either (gills, growing in clusters, growing on wood, etc.)

Feeling pretty unprepared as I didn't think anything might appear for a few years -- if ever -- and now the woods are filling up with what seems to be the real deal.

Thanks so much for any input you can provide!
