Hello everyone! A couple days ago, someone posted about a mysterious fungus/mushroom on a bush walk in Henry Sumerset Reserve, I got curious, so I went out on an adventure, since I wasn't too far away. At the reserve was a couple paths, I ended up taking the two which didn't lead to anywhere, just as I was about to give up, i decided to explore this cool fallen tree I found, climbed it a little, and as I was turning around, I saw it!! It's a lot smaller in person, about the side of my palm, I got so excited that I took a few photos, and for any nerds, I have a 3D scan of it!

Now you might be wondering, what is it? Here's a couple things I noticed about it when I was there'

Touch; It felt rough, very tough, and sorta rubbery, definitely not any kind of fungus I've felt before, definitely not one, too hard to bend.

Looks; It definitely didn't look like a fungus of any sort, too artificial, I assumed it looked more like a piece of rubber that was wedged into it during any machining or wood cutting during the setup of the trail.

Taste; hell no.

It also had no smell to it, if anyone was wondering, maybe some hints of rubber, mostly smelt like tree.

In the end, it definitely wasn't any fungus or mushroom, to everyone's disappointment, though, it was a fun find!

Furthermore, if anyone would like to see this 'fungus' in the future, I've got the coordinates for anyone interested! It's on the right at the fallen tree, you cannot miss it. I've attached a generous amount of photos, hopefully helping guide along where to go, hope you find it!

TL;DR; Not fungi, is rubber.

Sorry I didn't get a closer pic, I had my dogs and would've had to climb over some things. I can go back for pics if needed.

These are rapidly growing and dying in my new tree frog vivarium. any one know what it is and if its safe for my frogs to live with? located in USA but who knows origin of soil

they are very fun to watch grow since they will go from less than 1" to about 6" in 24-36 hours.

also any tips on removing them if they need to be.

found in southwestern Pennsylvania US. near a hemlock and white pines forest. growing in dirt.

And is this how it will continue to look, or will it evolve into a different shape?

Found on a bush walk in Tasmania. Was on a fallen tree

What mushroom is this ?

Found in eastern Pennsylvania.

It looks like a mushroom (or something fungal?) growing on a mushroom???

Thank you for any possible information!!

Sorry if the pictures are low quality (I have shaky hands), I can try and upload more if they aren't good enough!

For reference:

The soil is stored in a sealed plastic container (which I believe is airtight) in my non-temperature controlled garage. Up until now I haven't seen anything like this while using this container/soil, or seen any visible fungus on the houseplants I have used.

All of the visible fungus seems to only be on the very top of the soil. The soil has been relatively untouched for a few weeks, but I did use it earlier in August.

The soil is FoxFarms Ocean Forest, which is not directly stated to have any mycorrhizae added, but I did use the Happy Frog soil (from the same brand) in the same container previously, though I'm having trouble finding out what species are actually contained in that products soil.

I know its probably (hopefully?) nothing dangerous, but should I be cautious about using this soil indoors?

Chicago IL-Can you help identify these mushrooms for me please

Found in a neighbor’s yard, $20 bill and hand for scale. Purely curious! It’s gigantic!

Can you identify this mushroom ?

What are these growing on my lawn

Found this in my backyard I have 0 clue what this is and I don’t wanna touch it 😭

I know very little about mushrooms outside of what they sell at the store. All these mushrooms popped up in my yard over the last few days in west michigan United States. Anyone wanna take a shot at IDing them?

My sister's miniature wiener dog might've eaten these mushrooms in Germany (North Rhine Westfalia). Can anybody identify this one for me? Please see additional pics. 🙂

Hai hello everybody this is my first time looking at this sub and I wanted to ask a bunch of questions. I found this mushroom in a potted plant this morning and I wanted to know what sort of mushroom it is. I picked it up with a plastic bag and I'm already thinking of throwing it in the trash bc I'm scared it's poisonous (I have a cat who likes to play where the plant was. I'm not taking any risks). Even then I'm still curious. What type of mushrooms is it? Can I do something so that it doesn't sprout on the potted plants anymore?

These popped up in my yard a few days ago after a solid rain, any info would be helpful, lots of differing answers online overall so far.

Should I be worried

Cap was maybe 3mm diameter. Alone, growing in pine litter.

Some kinda of mycena?

Hii, I found this a few days ago. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be.

Located in Maine

In my backyard with grass and tree roots.
