Yellowfoot
A small funnel chanterelle with a brown to orange-brown cap, a nearly smooth pastel orange-yellow underside and a bright orange, hollow stem. It grows in moss in wet conifer bogs. It is edible and brighter than the closely related C. tubaeformis.
Edible (Wikipedia). Look-alikes C. tubaeformis and C. ignicolor are also edible. Small orange-yellow funnels must still be checked for a smooth or ridged (not truly gilled) underside and a hollow stem to exclude gilled species.
