/r/mushroomID
A place to get genus/species identification from pictures of fruiting bodies! It helps to include good quality pictures of the mushroom in it's native environment, the location you found them, photos of both the top and underside. It is also useful to know what the mushroom was growing on - wood, dung or on the ground? Nearby trees are also helpful to know.
The more information you provide the more confident our ID's will be!

Mushrooms in vivarium
I got some oak leaves for my vivarium a while ago. I’m not sure if my state matters cus I got them online. I’m in WI, but the leaves might be from New Hampshire. They seem to only grow from the leaves and have the brittlest looking stems.
I just wanna know if they can harm insects or not. Thank you!

Upstate NY.. on the beach!
Found this thing a few years ago in the summer. Touched it, absolutely awful feeling. It was soft slimey and terrible. I actually hate this thing. Its so uncomfortable to look at. But morbid curiosity gets the best of me.
