"Oh hey, what's all that under the tree over there? Maybe I'll have something to add to that mushroom thread I've been lurking?" "Wait, what? It's all..."  "...bread. Just bread." I guess something'll be growing there eventually!

I made a plant thread that is intended as the wild plant equivalent of this thread for ID/eating/chat purposes. I know lots of folks browse by bookmarks so I'm sharing here since there is probably some crossover interest (and you should post those cool flowers you saw on your mushroom walk!): https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3938360

Thanks to my 3d printer I was finally able to mount a scanner lens I got years ago to my camera, so I can finally take photos of quality mushrooms like this one! For some reason it made me think of SA.

So it would seem. Anyone have an idea of what might be going on with this guy? Found near similarly-colored and textured boletes, and it does appear to have pores, but the morphology looks more like a bracket fungus, but it's free standing.

 Big white mushrooms popped up after a rain. I didn't get a picture after they opened up all the way but they were big and white and flat had those rings around their stems and their gills were white as well. I'm assuming they were amanitas.

No telling from that picture. It might be champignon or even a dapperling, but don't eat unless you know how to tell. I'm going to pluck later, my bad humidity island finally got some rain.

their gills were white, not brown, like I said. I'm fairly certain they were super poisonous. I'm not really into eating mushrooms I find, I don't have the confidence for that, I just think they're neat.

All white with a veil is 100% destroying angel territory and not something you want to gently caress with unless dying from your liver turning to mush in a week sounds like a good time.

I wanna give a little shout out to the mushroom ID aps out there. Though they're faaaar from perfect they are amazing at getting a total newbie going in the right direction. Also I got a kick out of the app IDing this cute little white mushroom as a eastern north american destroying angel. The most metal of mushrooms. On a side note, I'm tossing around the idea of growing a barrel of mushrooms myself after watching various youtubes. Anyone have any experience / recommendations in that arena? Preferably I'd like to start now because I'm super impatient.

I’m really just the assistant, my gf has more experience but we’ve been doing well with easy oysters this year. She suggests this series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHJQrsZFQdE And make sure you sterilize, an instant pot makes it easy. You can buy syringes full of spores from Amazon. Go for blue oysters first, they grow fast and eat contaminants.

While we're on the subject of cultivating, I just bought a house with a couple of cold rooms that I think could be easily outfitted as growing and fruiting chambers. If I ever get around to it I'll do a big post on it.

There are several good NC mushroom groups on Facebook and they are totally overrun with pictures of ringless honey mushrooms at the moment, as well as memes about how overrun with pictures of ringless honey mushrooms they are. Edit: I’ve never tried eating them but they’re one of those weird “they wreck some stomachs and are totally fine for other stomachs” so most groups seem to be recommending to try only a little at first if you’re gonna Prop Wash fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Sep 15, 2020 |

Speaking of NC, I found a huge cluster of pink-tipped coral mushrooms on a hike outside Brevard last weekend:   I wasn't prepped to carry them, so I left them in place.

Found these fishing yesterday; I know nothing of shrooms but thought they were wacky. They were all on the same tree, and seemed to be leaking sap.

  What the heck are these mushrooms! Been googling best I can think of but ain't pulling up this particular mushrooms. It's got that ooze like a bleeding tooth or bleeding oak, but these were just on someone's lawn i saw on my miniwalk. They had a thick stem, the bleeding oak ive seen pics of is a more, foamy/spongy looking deal, these guys have thick stems like classic shrooms. I actually went back an hour later to take these pictures, originally they had more juice with more vibrant colour. I poked some of the ooze with a little stick and it didn't seem very sticky, not quite watery, it dripped a little onto the soil when I disturbed some drops. I know i probably cant eat em but I'd like to know what they are called or how I can grow them in my lawn instead of people's lawn a street away who don't deserve them

They look maybe related but that type seems much yellower and more blobby/spongy. These guys have that really thick choady base to it, and it seems like they kind of toppled under their own weight. They were growing on this big slope to someones front lawn, it's a hilly sloped street with shade, but I wasn't paying attention to what kind, could well be oak. Suppose I should get better at identifying trees too. These things didn't smell to me, but I also wasn't breaking em apart or trying to huff spores. Didn't cut em open, is that even allowed, do homeowners own mushrooms on their lawn, do renters, who is entitled to the fruiting body?

i love the idea of mushrooms in the abstract, but there's a deep visceral glee that comes with watching the boomers in my facebook mushroom ID groups repeatedly making themselves ill year after year improperly cooking honey mushrooms & eating them with their most expensive, reddest wines. foraging is a sucker's game for dipshits.

I don't drink and am not an idiot who'd eat something he can't positively ID. This means that, for me, foraging is the bountiful treasure chambers of the goblin king

I still remember the year I found so many chanterelles that I was able to do silly things with them like infuse them into whisky and add them to boxed mac n cheese because they were just everywhere. But I guess I'd really have owned the boomers if I didn't get to enjoy an absurd excess of fresh chanterelles.

Here's an album of stuff I"ve found lately; rather than timg the whole pile y'all feel free to post particular ones if you want to ask or whatever https://imgur.com/a/G0KV33z Couple of highlights, though:  Boletus sp, probably separans or subcaerulescens False caesar's, Amanita parcivolvata   Destroying angel (maybe) Red raspberry slime, Tubifera ferruginosa  No idea but cool:

This grew in the median between the sidewalk and my car in the space of maybe an hour and a half. It's probably stinkhorn, though I couldn't smell anything when I sniffed at it. Pretty little thing though.

Definitely what it looks like--no doubt it's smelling now. I went back to the same trail. Definitely leaning towards at least some of them being chanterelles. Even if I were confident enough in the ID this is too popular a trail with dogwalkers to eat any even if they were bigger.     Also found this tiny purple-and-white one:  This pagoda:  Blue-pored frisbee (I assume a bolete?)  Strawberries and cream:  And there was a cluster of these bright yellow ones which ended up being a lot less exciting up close:
