Mushroom.fungus?

It looks like the types I used to pick when I was a little girl, we used to go mushrooming a lot, in those days there were two things to look for, mushrooms and toadstools, and even we kids knew the difference but today there are so many mushrooms and some of the normal looking ones can be poisonous...what a pity, mushrooms are beautiful, you could make a nice pot of mushroom soup with that one...

I really do not have skills in the mushroom and fungus field. I have seen several lately, including one at my brother's house that was kind of cute. The largest mushroom I have heard of is like five miles across and is near Crystal Falls,Michigan. They even have a Humongous Fungus festival every year.

Hi dear
yeah in our school, where we use to have damp anf humid envirinement, we can find such mushroom and fungus/mushroom on ground as well as in tree trunks. if u notice it and observe it u will find it amazing and when u will touch it u will like its soft touch

I don't know what kind it is but it looks similar to the ones I see growing around here. When I lived in a trailer park I had a neighbor that use to pick mushrooms behind my trailer and get high off of them. I don't think these were the same ones though but not sure. This looks like the kind that I see growing in my yard here when the weather is rainy.

I'm not sure what type of mushroom this is. But I did find a site that gives the names and photos of the types of mushrooms there are that might help you in finding the name of this mushroom. Here's the link -

I will look at it after I post this. I do not know a lot about mushrooms. In fact I know nothing about them. heehee

wow a foot across is massive!

from the picture it looks like a shitake mushroom. which is a japanese breed of edible mushroom. but as with all mushrooms do not try to eat them or cook them unless totally certain. lots of danger out there.

having said that, i love mushrooms. i know some people who absolutely hate them. can't understand why that is at all!

I do not know a lot about mushroom fungus but we have been getting some pretty big mushrooms in our yard this year. We have lived in this house for over four years now and I have never seen mushrooms as big as they are this year!
