Is there a poisonous mushroom that looks like a chanterelle?

They're also known to help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of developing certain cancers.
Why is chanterelle so expensive?
The main reason for chanterelles' $224-per-pound price is that they're infamously difficult to cultivate. They mostly grow in the wild, meaning they must be foraged, and they require a period of heavy rainfall in a coniferous forest, followed by several days of continuous heat and high humidity.
