After several years of scouring the woods behind my house I am starting to find the spots for the specimens at last. The hericium keeps coming back in relatively small quantities year after year, but this is the first chanterelle haul so far, and there were many (more than pictured). Beauties.

Nice haul! What’s that cauliflower looking one?

That’s hericium coralloides. Comb tooth. Same genus as lion’s mane. Grows on dead trees. One of the stranger looking edible/medicinal species. Apparently they’re relatively easy to cultivate from spawn, though I’ve never tried it myself.
