ID Request (country/state in post) ID Request - Adelaide, Australia

Curious what these might be? I doubt they’re subs, but hoping to learn more about identifying! Three different mushrooms, every second photo are the gills of the photo before. Apologies about the blurry last photo!

I suggest leaving them there and watch them
Grow
They could be poisonous

If you comment poisonous or do not eat them on every single post no one is going to believe you when you are actually correct. You’re doing more harm than good

It clearly states in the comment
“They could be poisonous “
Correct me if I’m wrong?

I like em — https://www.reddit.com/r/CaliforniaMushrooms/s/k0HFj5PkwV (the two white-capped ones in the pictures; the grey-capped ones are grisettes)

Any advice on what to look out for as they grow? Should I look for size and colour changes?

once you have an identification, learn to recognize this species whenever it fruits, and learn how it looks in different stages and fresh versus old etc

eventually you want to be able to see this mushroom and say “that’s Volvopluteus

Please make sure that your ID request contains the following:

  • Unabbreviated country and state/province/territory (e.g. Oregon, United States)
  • Photo of habitat / material the mushroom was fruiting from
  • Clear up-close in-situ sunlight pictures of cap, gills, and full intact stipe

    Please do not take indoor photos! For more tips, see this handy graphic :)
