/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!

I’m curious to see what people think these are. They’re everywhere in a burn area from last year and I seem to see these in most year after burns. Thank you!

Found in my monstera pot in DFW, Texas
Are all mushrooms a good sign of soil quality? I have just never seen a yellow mushroom before so I’m worried.
