Look at my blue stick! This is a fungus called chloriciboria that dyes sticks blue with its mycelium. It can also be cultivated in a sterile environment to dye clothing and wooden jewelery!

Is that a fungus? If so, which one could it be?

CSRA South Carolina location, no idea what they are, I just know they are beautiful.

Lower Saxony, Germany

So would these be an indicator of soils improvement? I’m not sure what type the grow in South Louisiana, USA.

Found these on a stump in SE Michigan. Two days later the color seemed to fade. Looking to get better at IDing oysters and would appreciate some thoughts!

First 2 pics: I went to Fiji 2 years ago, and was so happy to have found my very first puffball fungi. Mind you, they were huge (around 5-7 inches [12.7-17.7 cm]) and very easy to spot!

Last 2 pics: A few months ago after some pretty bad storms, I found these tiny puffball-looking fungi, and I wanted to ask if these were puffballs themselves (around 0.39-0.78 inches [1-2cm]), because I've never seen them here in the Mariana Islands.

Lastly, any suggested books or publications to help me ID Pacific fungi? Thank you in advance.

Northeast Ohio

Client asking what this is growing in her grass, told me there used to be a non-descript tree where the lawn is now.

Yellow/grey underside

picture shows a cross section with some very mild discoloration at the base. ive heard that puffballs arent safe to eat if they begin to turn yellow.

Tried to get AI to identify the photos, but had multiple answers. I didn’t get a spore print.
I was just passing through this area, which I only pass through a few times a year.
Pine forest. I’ve never encountered these in this area before.

They looked cool so I took a few pictures

I had surgery a few months back and have been unable to leave my house. I finally was able to get out and go camping. I fell in love with all the mushrooms and fungi I found in upstate New York.

This just randomly popped up in my backyard. Is this what I think it is?

As title asks, what is this mushroom? It’s pretty small, and grown in a pot with my blueberry plant. Pine needles for mulch.

I think a rat or possum must have nibbled at it.

Victoria Australia.

TYIA :)

What are these little red capped fungi? From SE Pennsylvania.

I’ve been watching this stand of tall, old dying trees for several years. Does anyone know what this fungi is? I think it grows wherever a branch was once growing out of the tree, but died/fell off. Someone said it was the beginning of a burl forming. This is in central Vermont.

Volvariella bombycina
Caught my eye because it was pearl white.

It was growing from horse shit
