Also, if you find a chantarell with gills, its not a chantarell!

You have it backwards!
Chantarelles have gills!

Those are not gills - those are ridges. Gills are different in quality from the cap of the mushroom - you can see a dividing line if you cut across them - they tear off fairly easily - they are thin - they stop at a more defined line at the stalk.

A Jack o' lantern mushroom has gills.
