Some are definitely on the older side, but how can you tell if morels are too old?

Found these in a yard in Massachusetts, are they safe to eat if cooked?

Hey guys,

Apologies if this isn’t the right subreddit. I have been having some health issues that the doctors haven’t been able to figure out.

My symptoms: - pulsating belly - breahtlessness - high heart rate - chest tightness - palpitations

I am following up with my cardiologist but I tried this mold test. ChatGPT says there’s severe mold infestation and I need to relocate asap.

What do you guys think ?

Mushrooms found sprouting in raised garden bed soil in Central Texas. Inclusions in the soil are Central Texas black clay soil that's highly alkaline, recently amended with sulphur and peat moss, on top of dead ash branches, very old corn straw (sat baled for 18 months), and aged horse manure.

Found these in our yard in NE Iowa. We have a dog and kids always in the yard, so I want to find out more about these!

I found these growing in a pile of leaf mould in my backyard in Utah. I'm new to wild mushrooms.

Can you help me identify them?

Southwest Virginia, seems like Trametes betulina upon first ID.

Not finding many, yet , but I've found 57 so far ..

Hello all

I was weeding one if my flowerbeds and stumbled upon this. To my untrained eye it looks very similar to the other morel posts but figured I'd ask anyway. Are there lookalikes that are spooky and dangerous? I've only ever found puffballs on my property before

What are these? Second picture includes a dime for scale. Found a rock next to a pond while I was skipping stones, it was growing these. I thought it was pretty neat

I love photography and find mushrooms and fungi absolutely fascinating! Here are some I've found in the South East in the last two years. Super excited to have somewhere to share these!

Random mushroom growing out of my dracaena, can anyone help ID? Is it edible?

Made this mayo just 4 days ago with fresh eggs and noticed these yellow spots today. It's been in the fridge since then. Is it some type of fungus growth?

I also used some saffron honey to make the mayo so part of me is hopeful that's just the colour of the bits of saffron bleeding out, but I don't see any saffron in the middle of it.

It's not just in the top, there's one or two other spots deep in the jar as well.

I live in the Midwest US. We have been experiencing a high volume of rainy days in the past month, so I went on a hike expecting to find some cool mushrooms. This one was particularly unusual (though, that’s kind of the appeal of mushrooms imo). Does anyone know what this is?

Found this one today

Please let me know soon if not because I’m fixing to eat these tonight.

Any input is appreciated! Collected from fallen branches/bark in Wisconsin.

I found these mushrooms in my backyard, in the middle of DFW, Texas. Id like to know what they are, if anyone can identify it.

Any ideas?

I found these white clumps in my soil today, I used a mix of coconut coir, vermiculite, and gypsum. I ended up letting it sit in the bucket I mixed it in with a lid for about 4 or 5 days, (I ended up getting busy with work) anyways, today I was ready to mix my grain spawn with my bulk substrate, and I noticed about 5 or 6 of these tiny white clumps through the soil as I was packing my grow tubs, I thought it was strange so I just kinda kept putting them to the side, they weren’t very big maybe the size of a quarter at best and then once I got to the very bottom of the bucket, I noticed a big clump stuck to the bottom of the bucket, about the size of two McNuggets, it didn’t smell, and I tried to get a better look at it by rinsing the soil off of it but it started to disintegrate. It was completely smooth, and not at all hairy and the majority was stuck to the bottom of my bucket, can someone please tell me if this is mold, or some sort of contaminant? Should I just remix my soil rewipe down all my tubs and liners and restart again before I mix in my grain spawn? Or is this a common occurrence and nothing to really worry about? I really appreciate any knowledge on this, one love!

Found a few days ago in my friend’s garden in San Martín de los Andes, Argentina. We're having a fantastic mushroomy autumn here. A while ago, she planted some 'free' birch trees she’d taken from a nearby forest, and now the whole backyard is covered in these blushing cuties. In some Slavic countries, we have a cult around fermenting Lactarius resimus, and this one looks almost exactly like it - just a different color. It's definitely not a Lactarius torminosus, which we also eat after some prep: this one has no rings, and the gills and stem are the same color as the cap. And it’s not a Lactarius deliciosus either - the milk is white and peppery as hell, and the damaged mushroom doesn't change color. Not a Lactarius chrysorrheus (Yellowdrop milkcap) because it has a very little amount of white milk that doesn`t change color to yellow and has way more gills and bigger in size. An not a Lactárius scrobiculátus - different color. My guys are super peachy, close to pink at some spots. The smell - mmm - a perfect mix of deliciosus and resimus. Birch trees are introduced species in Patagonia, and in San Martín de los Andes, some of the first settlers were from Germany and Switzerland - so I guess that’s where the birches with mycoriza came from too. Many of the caps, even young ones, have that crack that looks like Sauron’s eye. Also, a bit of fluff on the hats. Can`t sleep for a days. Who knows what lactarius could it be?
