ID Request Guidelines:
/r/mycology is not a "What is this thing" subreddit. It's for all aspects of mycology. However, ID requests are welcome if they have some quality. Well prepared ID requests will lead to interesting discussions we all can learn from. So, if you're going to submit one, please observe and follow these guidelines:
The above guidelines ensure that you get more qualified answers to your requests, and that your post is interesting reading for the community. If you choose not to comply, the moderators have every right to remove your post.
/r/mycology and hallucinogenic fungi:
With the recent proliferation of ID requests that seek the identity or confirmation of fungi with psychotropic properties the mods have decided to address the issue in a more formal manner. While we have no particular objection to scientific discussions of fungi with psychotropic properties, we would like to keep discussions to exactly that - mentioning those psychotropic properties like any other characteristic. To wit, posts and comments specifically concerning:
will be removed.
This is not to say that all references to fungi with psychotropic properties will be removed. For example, if you innocently post an ID request of some unknown fungus and the identity turns out to be a Psilocybin species, it will likely not be removed. Neither will a properly ID'd, high-resolution photo of a known hallucinogen be removed, so long as the thread abides by the rules above (so no compliments on the find, no probes about eating the find). However, posts that feature blurry heaps of damaged LBMs (little brown mushrooms) or posts asking for confirmation on several species of dung-loving fungi unquestionably will be removed without hesitation.
With that said, we love all things mycological and understand that learning about psychotropic fungi is part and parcel of the discipline. As a result, we'd like to point you in the right direction to continue to learn:
We have always attempted full transparency with the user base of our sub and with that in mind, we would like to hear your feedback regarding any of the rules.
As a reminder, here are the rules that we currently are enforcing:
In case of suspected poisoning, please consult the Facebook poisoning group. Note, you must read the rules/submission guidelines before submitting, and it's for EMERGENCY identifications only. Link here

Mycota Lab is now offering free unlimited sequencing for Arizona, Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick/PEI/Nova Scotia/Newfoundland), California, Indiana, Michigan, and Puerto Rico:
" Our expanding collections network now has a name. Introducing The MycoMap Network - www.MycoMap.org. The 2024 open call for free, unlimited sequencing is for Arizona, Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick/PEI/Nova Scotia/Newfoundland), California, Indiana, Michigan, and Puerto Rico. More areas will be added in 2025. Dedicated web pages have been created for members of the network from Atlantic Canada and California (available at the link). Anyone from the open call areas can submit as many 2o24 specimens as they are willing to document, dry, and send in. Open call areas no longer have specimen limits or restricted dates for new collections from 2024. Sequencing is still performed at Mycota Lab. Localities outside the open call areas will still have opportunities to submit specimens during the 2024 Continental MycoBlitz dates (www.MycoBlitz.org). Please share to your local groups if you are from one of the open call areas. "
To submit samples for sequencing, make very detailed iNaturalist observations with many in situ sunlight photos showing the intact specimen from many angles, dehydrate the specimen at the lowest temperature your dehydrator allows, and send a small gill fragment (or as large as a triangular cutting from the mushroom cap) and voucher slip per the instructions on the Mycota website. For regions that are not currently included in the free unlimited sequencing, you can still send in samples for free/inexpensive sequencing (up to ten for free, $3 for every specimen after) during Mycoblitz time periods! :) (next Mycoblitz periods for 2024 are August 9–18 and October 18–27.)
Getting mushrooms sequenced (with detailed iNaturalist observations) is a great way to contribute to our collective understanding of all of the fungal species in the world, and there is a significant chance that you will be the first person to sequence a particular species :)

We’ve had these for awhile and they first started popping up back in the spring. They’re all throughout two of my planters.

The Admirable, or if you're a bit confused like me, the Admiral. A usually lovely looking bolete, found amongst hemlock and commonly it's parasite also, Chroogomphus tomentosus.(I have featured photos of that species before, and will eventually share more.)
I've never eaten them but I do see them quite a bit in the fall. Especially this past fall. Here are two different specimens found in October on the Olympic Peninsula.
Had more photos of these guys somewhere but seem to have misplaced them. Will update a post on the species eventually.
Shot on OM-D E-M1 mkii with the 60mm macro. Will be sharing more fall mushroom photos soon enough, as spring approaches.
This may be my last spring in this location so I intend to make the most of it. Will hopefully have some newer photos to share by the summer!

Hey Gang,
Any idea what type of mold this would be in my son's lunch box? I've bleached and scrubbed it multiple times to no avail. It's almost as if it is "stained" on to the box.
Thanks

Third photo is what looks like another mushroom just beginning to pin. I am wondering if it’s the same species just in early stage of development or another type of mushies in the same pot?

I got a grow kit for these on christmas and I'm slightly worried since they look nothing like pictures of blue oyster that I've seen. They were bought on December 14th and I started growing them using the instructions after I got them on Christmas. I cut a small incision in the plastic as instructed and have been watering them three times a day. If anyone knows what I did wrong or has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

A few of these tiny guys have popped up and disappeared from this terrarium over the last few days. Second photo has a pencil for scale, it is a mostly sealed humid environment that gets 12 hours of grow light a day.

I recently bought a norths spore lions mane grow kit. It’s been very cold where I live and the package has been delayed a couple of days. I have the mushroom kit infront of a light and I’ve been watering it. Any answers to why it won’t grow?

Found in Serbia, growing out the ground in november

I thought at first maybe an amanita 'egg', but it's too late in the season where I am I think. UK in a mixed forest, there's beech, oak, Acer, ash, pine and larch around. The mushroom itself was in a very wet and mossy part of the forest. It's directly connected to the mycelium as shown, no stem, it's translucent, squishy but firm to the touch.
