Holy cow, Scott. That's an impressive haul. That's the good thing about hen of the woods. They're about the size of a basketball. When I find one, it's usually large enough to satisfy me for the year. I've never found chanterelles in the quantity and quality as those this year. I find them in open woods, not growing against trees or logs, and usually in a pretty substantial group of 12-25.
CanyonCreek, those are not chanterelles. Chanterelles do not have a toadstool appearance. There is no cap. Chanterelles look more like lobed flowers with 3-4 fleshy, upright petals that are bright to dull orange. My neighbor keeps his woods bush hogged, and we just drive around until we find a patch. One drawback to them is they're quite dirty and can be difficult to clean. Clean them by brushing them before giving them a good water rinse right before cooking them. Still, they can be slightly gritty. They keep very well too.
