The false chanterelle is commonly confused with the true chanterelle due to its similar appearance. Although it's safe to eat, false chanterelle mushrooms may cause mild gastrointestinal issues. Knowing what to look for helps identify actual chanterelle mushrooms from the false. The false chanterelle has true gills, while the true chanterelle has folds, one of its characteristics. Color is telling, too. True chanterelles are closer to egg yolk-yellow, while false chanterelle's color is more orange and graded, with a dark center.  True chanterelles have wrinkled and rounded folds that are randomly forked. The flesh is creamy white, unlike the surface color. The cap of an actual chanterelle mushroom has a thin, uneven, waved edge.
