Cantharellus cibarius
Small, orange, funnel shaped mushroom I found in the woods. I'm pretty sure it is the golden chanterelle mushroom, which is actually a rare and tasty mushroom from what I hear. Who knew?
Woods, logs, rotting leaves.
Thanks for the help or any comments!

thanks aonach! i cant believe it was so close
good find
thanks! i was looking it up...and really surprised that I had found such a delicacy on rotting leaves 50 yards from my house haha. who knew people eat these? thanks for the suggestion, I'll update it.
I would agree that it's a Golden Chanterelle, from what I can see here. The gills are thick and more like ridges than the mushrooms they are most similar to, and tend to have cross-over or forked ridges/gills.
