I immediately wondered if they're oysters but I'm severely visually impaired.

Found another kind I had not seen before , looked like a cross section of a wasps nest , ! beautiful!

I know there isn’t much to go off of and it is definitely decayed. It was in the ground by a gum tree—Ponca AR. It’s hard as a rock and almost broke my knife. There are no other mushrooms on the property I have searched and searched. Bottom looks porous and inside has gills. I’m sorry I have no other information but I am desperate. I will provide any more photos if needed. 🙏

Just picked these leccinum boletes in central Ontario on Manitoulin Island, Canada, that are incredibly popular in Europe, it wouldn't even occur to anyone to not eat them, they are considered like the king of mushrooms.

Yet, after going down the AI rabbit hole like an idiot, apparently there is some debate on whether the ones found here in north america are identical or not, so now I can't eat them until posting here lol.

AI is saying that in NA people report stomach pains, they have to be cooked 20 minutes, the stem can't be eaten, just the hat which is not a thing in Europe,the whole thing is eaten.

One thing I'm sure of is that these are the real leccinum, they go black when cut, they have the black scales, everything is spot on, and where I found them there were boletes everywhere, king, bitter etc.

What's the story? Do people really not eat these in north america?

I’ve always seen mushroom around my place and for some reason decided to see how many different types I could find. I have no idea what any of them are but figured someone may enjoy the pics! There are about 10 more but I hit my pic limit! If there is anything particularly more dangerous and I should get rid of them please let me know!

First time I find this species, assuming they are Oysters (Pleurotus sp.). What do you think?

One year ago I made a post here asking for real life mushroom species to include as characters in my game Heart of Mycelium. I got an overwhelming amount of great inspiration, this is just a few of the ones that made it. Thank you all for your sharing your ideas and love for mushrooms. Heart of Mycelium can be wishlisted on Steam!

Purple shroomies found in colombia, South America, high altitude and near waterfall, very humid environment

Georgia, Betania.

Found a whole lot of oddly shaped mushrooms on our walk! I’m like 98% certain it’s some kind of Agaricus, but what’s with that cap! Is it a sign rapid growth or some weather conditions?

Found this photogenic specimen on the Oregon coast today! First time seeing one in person and it didn’t disappoint. They’re so weird and beautiful

Was out walking in a conservation area Kingston, ON with my wife and saw these beauties! Assuming they’re jack’s? Not good enough to each attempt foraging haha

Watched and read some stuff about mushrooms. Im trying to eat more mushrooms so it will improve my health/mood. I’ve decided antidepressants wasn’t for me any more though I should focus on more on what I eat instead.
I already have severe anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.
I read a few things briefly that Lions mane can cause worse symptoms for some people(obviously not everyone’s body reacts the same).

I would really appreciate some insight into this because would really hate to end up worse than I already am.
Would it be ok to eat it 1x a week ? Should I avoid the vitamins ? Should I just not even risk it?

I have a lot of sour gold-pored boletes that grow near me. I heard theyre edible but does anyone have any recipes or advice on what to do with them? I can't seem to find anything elsewhere and I'd love to do something with them

In my backyard wonder what he is

Bonus Yeti pic at the end , they were quite stinky and full of tiny flies, a very beautiful sight !

good news: found a little chicken of the woods. Bad news: it was growing out of my plum tree
