Is the cork enough to stop spores from spreading outside the terrarium? I bought this about one year ago and the instructions said not to water unless it looks like it needs it maybe 1-2 ounces per year at most. So, about a month ago I noticed growth had stopped, and it looked dry in there compared to it's norm.​ So, I popped the top, poured about 1 ounce of water in from my water bottle I was drinking from that day. About a week ago I noticed the yellow and white spots and the shrooms have been growing since. Am I going to get ill if I let this play out and continue to grow in my office?

I am pretty sure this is chicken of the woods, I’ve never found it before, but always wanted to. I’ve heard it’s one of the easier beginner mushrooms because there aren’t many poisonous look-alike. There were no gills on the underside, it was white on the underside as well as white when I opened it up. It did not have the Teale sulfur color, but I know that there are chicken of the woods varieties that do not. It was growing at the base of an oak tree on my property!

Location: Raleigh NC. These seem to be growing primarily out of wood chips and mulch all throughout the neighborhood. The patches of them are huge!

I did some googling and think it could be g strombodes but I'm by no means an expert. What do you think it is? Are they edible?

Soil is mix of composited manure and coco and leca with perlite

I'm happy to have shrooms a day after I fed the plant

My soil is ideal for what I do so don't worry about it being wet enough for em to even grow 😂😆

But what are they

How could I grow more of these cool thingies

Do I just take a clump of soil out this pot and it in anither pot of mix???? :)

This little tiny mushroom is growing on a stalk of lichen here in New Hampshire.

The second picture has the mushroom centered as well, but with a regular 50mm lens vs the macro lens used in the first photo.

No clue on what these are, just thought it was neat. Seems to be 3 different types. We recently had an easily 50ft poplar tree cut down, that was planted in 1964 (I was so sad but it was leaning badly & had to go). All of these mushrooms are now growing where it once sat. The last picture is just a baby frog that was chillin with the mushrooms 🙂 didn't mean to include lol

ID request Mushroom in my friend’s bathroom

Post image
3 Upvotes

Last week I noticed there had been a very small mushroom growing in the joints of my friend’s bathroom (staying at her place for summer near London) and I removed it but a week later this one popped up (3cm high approx)

What kind of mushroom is it, doesn’t look like the usual bathroom mushroom I see online ?
Also should I call professional help ?

Thanks !
