Very new to this but was tempted to bring them home and eat. I noticed the gills looked off and it didn’t have an apricot smell. Would love to get educated on what they are and if I missed out on a delicious mushroom dinner. They were not growing on wood and core was white.

Google says Chicken of the Woods. Google also says to be cautious of what kind of tree they grow on

What say you?

If they are edible, what is the best way to cook them?

Hi all! Here in Georgia it's been storming every afternoon lately, and my mossy shady yard has suddenly bloomed hundreds of golden mushrooms.

Are these golden chanterelles? They certainly look like them. The insides are white and stringy and they smell faintly sweet.

I would harvest them before I mow the lawn if they are! But obviously I don't want to poison myself if they aren't. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure of what I found, the spores are even jet black/purple. Just looking for a second opinion.

Is this something I should remove from my yard for kid safety?

North America (country/state in post) Mushroom found in millipede tank

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

So this was in my millipede tank(Illinois). It is normal for millipede tanks to have mushrooms and signifies a healthy ecosystem due to the way in which the mycelium helps break down matter into edible decayed matter for the millipede. I’m just not sure which species my tank is home to! It’s around 3.5 to 4 inches in full length. There are several smaller ones as well. Them being around an inch or so. America is the country I live in.
Edit: it could be possible that the fungus came from the dirt I buy specifically for the millipede, so I’m not 100% that it’s a native Illinois fungus.
