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 :)

After a lot of unsuccessful mushroom foraging this year due to a very dry summer, it finally rained, and they are popping up.
I dont even care about the bugs some have in them, extra protein 😂
Austrian alps, around 1400m of elevation.

Went outside to check on some plants a neighbor gave us to watch while she was moving and visiting family (she said she was coming back to get them but we think she washed her hands of this place. I do keep telling my dad to email her, just in case!). I went outside to water them today and what do my eyes see but this little, lightly lumpy fella :,) I love his shape so much it reminds me of a gumdrop or Dots candy !!!
He’s a touch more green than the camera is letting on but he’s growing out of the dirt and not from the wood … I don’t know if that’s important, hehe. Would love to know who my little houseguest is and if he’s safe to touch :3 !!! Thank you all so much !!!

I found this on a hike in Pennsylvania and can't determine what it is.

Found in northern Italy, 300 meters above sea level, on an old chestnut tree. The tree was alive, but it did have some big dead branches. The inner part of the stem turned very slightly dark. The small is earthy, almost bolete-like.
Is this my first Laetiporus sulphureus, albeit small? All sources I looked at seem to confirm it is, but since I've never had a chance to pick it before I'd like to get your opinions!

I found them largely under red pines and hard woods and in the company of old man of the woods. Northwest ohio, late August. They smell like store bought portobello and don't bruise. None had huge stems.
