>>2825002Probably a bit late, but that is most likely a chanterelle, which is edible. The real tell would be the appearance of the underside/gills. Chanterelles have "false gills", which are more like veins along the underside of the cap/top of the stem, compared to true gills which protrude much farther, like gills on a fish or pages in a book.
I found a good number of chanterelles last weekend myself
>>2824593 and you can see the false gills there fairly well.
Things that are important for mushroom identification:
>Does it have a defined cap and stem?>If so, what does the stem look like, and what does the top and underside of the cap look like?>If not, what is the overall structure of the mushroom?>What does the spore-bearing surface of the mushroom look like? This is the underside of the cap for a "standard" mushroom. Could be gills, pores, teeth, or any number of non-standard features.>What was the mushroom growing out of (the substrate)? Dirt? Decaying wood? Live wood? Other? Is it possible there could have been dead or live wood (tree roots, buried branch/log) just underground?>Does the mushroom change color when bruised/cut? What color does it change to? How long does it take?There are also more nuanced identifying features, like:
>Size and shape of the spores under a microscope>Color-change reaction to several different chemical substances>Color of the spore print (place the mushroom cap face down on a piece of paper and cover it with a bowl overnight, it will leave spores in a pattern on the paper below)
