While that's strange in your case (aren't chanterelles one of the guys you have to cook very thoroughly or they're neuro/cardiotoxic?) they've been monitoring the air for particulate and haven't found anything dangerous, but it wouldn't hurt to shoot an email off to a funguy-ologist in the region to see if they think it has merit, and can contact the relevant authorities if that's the case. Then you win the ego game if it turns out that's what it was.
Nah, chanterelles aren't poisonous. You may be thinking of G. esculenta which have to be parboiled several times for them to be edible.
Who tf looks at a disgusting brain shaped mushroom and tries to eat it? God damn I'd rather starve than eat something that looks like that.
Then again I do have an unnatural hatred for all mushrooms. Disgusting little things.
