    This is the video I learned from: https://youtu.be/9aOwgaIFKMY

    Quick rundown is there are a few ways to tell them apart:

    1. Cluster size: Chanterelles are almost always individual (or occasionally 2-3 together) not great big clusters like this
    2. Chanterelles grow out of the ground, JOL grow out of wood
    3. Flesh color: If you split them in half Chanterelles will have a white interior, JOL will be orangish
    4. Size: Chanterelles tend to be quite a bit smaller than JOL

      I did a little reading that also said chanterelles have no smell while JOL have a strong, pleasant smell. All signs point to JOL.

      This is the most surefire way to identify chanterelles for sure. They will also peel apart like string cheese down the stipe, which should not be hollow.
