Identified or not, my intention with this thread is to have as many mushrooms as possible on one thread. Stricly as a means for exploration. For those that are interested in learning about different species of fungus.
DO NOT USE THIS AS A FINAL MEANS FOR IDENTIFICATION.
Guidelines and expectations for fungi forumIdentification of wild fungi is a complex process. It takes a lot of experience and many steps to properly identify wild fungi.
Furthermore, some edible fungi have poisonous and/or deadly "look-a-likes" that if mistaken for an edible could cause serious harm or death.
Post a mushroom with full scientific title in CAPS or
Bold. Or post an unknown pic and let the community discuss it.
Pictures should be of fresh mushrooms, well focused, and include as much of the mushroom as possible (stem, cap, gills). Post a pic of a spore print if you can.
If you can, post pictures 650 pixels (Or close) in width to fit the page.
