A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I found this specimens on a root of a dead "Floss Silk Tree" ("Ceiba speciosa), on a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Florest.

Nice shots of the marginate forked gills Leonardo.
Haha, don't worry - it's tough. Chanterelles are recognisable by their 'false gills' that is their gills aren't so distinctly formed as these and appear rather as folds of flesh on the underside of the cap. They also don't grow from solid wood like this.
ah, you learn something new everyday. Can you tell Im new to mushroom identification?! :p
Not Chanterelles of any sorts, those are prime Oyster Mushroom - Pleurotus species.
Trumpet chanterelle?
