I thought that as well and got one of those apps. Actually I tried three different ones before I gave up on them and went to the library. Here where I am in the library the call numbers are 589.6 upstairs in the nonfiction. Mushrooms of the southeast. I recommend that book. All three of the apps told me that a group of Jack O' Lanterns were Chanterelles and vice a versa. Give up on technology I think it wants me dead. You bring it to me here and I will help you figure it out. There is also a VERY GOOD YT channel if I am allowed to say it. NOT SELLING IT FOR THEM. I used it though this fella knows a whole lot. LearnYourLand. Give it a look. There are a few others but this one was BY FAR the best. Nothing works better I found than going at it cautiously, and then realizing once you know them and eat one there is no way you can even imagine you could ever think it was something else. They all even have their own smell. Before they even come out of the leaves a month before. There are three things you need to remember when identifying mushrooms. The time of year. What it is growing on. Where it is growing I mean. Then, take a spore print and compare to literature. I personally haven't had to take a spore print but I have just to see the colors.
