For mushroom and fungus identification.

If you found yourself an unidentified mushroom or fungus, post it here and we'll try to find its name for you.


When posting please include geographic location and, if, applicable, a photo of the underside of the mushroom. Try to refer to this when trying to find a mushroom's ID.


Please do not assume the ID of the species if you are not sure. The goal of the subreddit is to be accurate and helpful.


One more thing!

We do not encourage any visitor to consume any mushroom or fungus found. Mushrooms can be very dangerous and in many cases fatal if eaten. Be careful!

Was told this is a fungus, can anyone identify and help me get rid of it?

Me and my roommate just found this growing out of the carpet in our dorm room. We've put in a work order to get rid of it as soon as possible, but I don't know when they'll get to it and we want it gone asap. Can anybody identify it? It's a waxy looking texture and a yellowish orange color. Also glows yellow under a black light. Please help!!! Thanks

Are these pink waxcaps?

Found in a woodland in suburban London. Approx 7-10cm in height, maybe 4-6cm across. The caps weren’t quite splitting in a way consistent with waxcaps but not sure what else it might be.
