Identification: Mushroom confirmation

I went on a trip into the woods and it was mostly a bust but I did find a couple specimens and want to be sure they are what I think they are.
First is a chanterelle and the second is what I believe to be a lobster mushroom

 

Nice! Yes chanterelle and lobster.
I found some lobster too recently: Had some thinly sliced, sauteed, added to soup - Num!

 

awesome.
I found 4 lobsters, there were some neighbouring mushrooms that were still white.
I only found 2 chanterelles lol. I saw a few tiny yellow caps coming up from the ground and I figure they could be chanterelles but they need some time to grow. I'm hoping to make another hike out on Saturday in another location.
I found a few false ones growing on dead wood. Took lots of pictures on my walk of lots of mushrooms.

 

i'd take a lobster over a chanterelle any day ...

 

Are the hosts of the lobster mushroom always safe to eat?

 

When the host is parasitized they are safe to eat: there are no known exceptions. When the host is unparasitized, several of them are not edible.

 

Thanks Mycorob. The reason I asked is a friend just dropped off ~10lbs of Lobsters yesterday because he is afraid to eat them. Guess I better fire up the frying pan .....

 

Jealous!
