- Comment on Found these growing in our indoor herb planter 2 weeks ago:
No need to worry about your herbs, it’s just a mushroom growing on your potting soil and helping to break it down which may actually make nutrients more available for your plants.
Those photos are pretty blown out but from your description I bet the mushroom is the flowerpot parasol Leucocoprinus birnbaumi. They’re pretty harmless though you shouldn’t eat them or anything.

- Comment on A very chode-like bolete 2 weeks ago:
Well boletes are another easy one to get into, if you follow the “no red pores or blue stains” rule you avoid all the poison/bitter ones.
This one is likely Leccinum insigne.
- Comment on Strangely Green Giant Puffball 2 weeks ago:
Ah the scale wasn’t obvious to me, that’s really interesting.
- Comment on a merry band of fungi spotted today 2 weeks ago:
There’s white powder all over the tops of the caps at the bottom of the photo which is most likely spores.

That’s a nice one, did you eat it? I hear they cause GI issues for some people?
- Comment on Some sort of Coral Fungus (?) getting in the spooky season spirit 2 weeks ago:
Maybe Clavulina sp. they often get infected with another fungus that turns them grey.
- Comment on Strangely Green Giant Puffball 2 weeks ago:
It might not be a puffball, Amanitas often look similar before their universal veil breaks and I know of at least one Amanita with a yellow veil (Amanita augusta).
- Comment on A couple Coprinus 3 weeks ago:
Probably one of the C. comatus varieties since it’s the typical size in the typical habitat.
Identifying most other Coprinus to species is pretty specialized knowledge in the first place and your post doesn’t have nearly enough information to do so. At the very least we’d need the location and closer photos including a cross section since that’s the only way to see the gills on a Coprinus.
- Comment on Autumn skullcap on a cool autumn day 3 weeks ago:
Let me help you feel a little more qualified, understanding different veil types and how they tear is a great way to level up you ID skills.
G. marginata has a fibrilose membranous partial veil which often leaves a persistent ring or a noticeable line on the stem.
The remnant in your photo looks like it came from a cobweb veil/cortina which is fleeting and doesn’t leave much of a mark on the stem.
Here’s a photo from Alan Rockefeller that shows some Galerina marginata with intact veils and veils that are beginning to tear.
The veils often wear off and don’t leave much of a remnant but they probably wouldn’t leave a single cobwebby strand like that with no color variation on either stem.
For comparison, here’s a Cortinarius sp. with a thick cortinate partial veil:
And here Hypholoma capnoides which is has a pseudo-cortinate veil somewhere in between a membranous veil and a cortina:
There are other species in Galerina and other genera with effervescent cobweb veils so this is a good clue you probably found one of those rather than G. marginata. Not that I blame you for not wanting to learn the subtleties between LBMs, mycologists didn’t want to either which is why they shoved them all in Galerina and why the genetic data is now telling us that Galerina needs to be split into something like five genera.

- Comment on Autumn skullcap on a cool autumn day 3 weeks ago:
I see what looks like a remnant of a cortina on the one on the right which would mean it’s not Galerina marginata. The one on the left doesn’t have the strongest ring zone either.
- Comment on Any suggestion for Identification? 3 weeks ago:
Looks like some kind of Tricholoma despite the brown gills. Maybe something in the T. pessundatum group which is supposed to have gills that stain brown.
- Comment on Hot damn, I think I got a three for one special 4 weeks ago:
Small ones are definitely Scutellinia sp., the brown one looks more like a woodear to me (Auricularia americana) but it could probably be a lot of things.

- Comment on Small trip into the Alps 4 weeks ago:
Perhaps something like Collybia rivulosa (recently changed from Clitocybe rivulosa).
- Comment on Common floppy hat 4 weeks ago:
It looks like it could be a dried out wavy cap (Psilocybe cyanescens) but it’s hard to say for sure.

- Comment on Perfect little cup hiding in a log 5 weeks ago:
Those are usually more orange, this just looks like a Peziza sp. to me.

Apologies to anyone still seeing duplicates of this post, programming.dev was running slow when I tried to post it and Jeroba was giving me timeout errors so I retried a few times 😅.

- Comment on Little orange guy found in Michigan's upper peninsula 1 month ago:
Maybe but the slight scaliness makes me think it might be Laccaria.

Plus all the other conifers with cones that get referred to"pinecones".
- Comment on Just a little guy 1 month ago:
It’s pretty simple to gain the knowledge, learn an edible species, learn the lookalikes, and maybe take them to a local mycology club and ask for an ID confirmation the first few times to make sure.
If you avoid little brown mushrooms and pure white mushrooms, know what a deathcap looks like, and don’t spend years eating Paxillus involutus without ever looking it up, then you’re not going to end up eating any deadly or psychedelic species.

What’s a normal pinecone?
