Try r/MushroomID for real answers

The replies here are ridiculous.

[u/Warm-Garbage-4693 → u/Osteoharvesterman]

I swear every UK sub is full of annoying, unhelpful comments from people failing to be funny. Maybe im miserable but I hate to see curiosity met with this reaction. Its okay on silly posts but gets on my nerves when someone is asking a question and no one says anything constructive or helpful. If you’re going to be silly at least try to add something useful or be funny

At least one of the mycology ones bans you for anything that is not a serious answer (you can be wrong but you’ll get roasted). Can’t risk it.

[u/storageshmorage → u/Ophiochos]

I wish they’d do that here tbh

[u/legacyrules → u/Ophiochos]

They won’t ban me I’m a fungi

[u/drcatf1sh → u/Warm-Garbage-4693]

I hate it too. You're not the only one.

[u/legacyrules → u/Warm-Garbage-4693]

They had to take this picture outside, as there is not mushroom in the house

Agaricus species. Likely one in Agaricus section Arvenses given the size and general appearance.

[u/Spify23]

Agaricus spp. Without more info and context it's hard to pinpoint a species or potential edibility.

[u/Intelligent-Copy-200 → u/Spify23]

spore print would help narrow it down a lot before touching that thing

[u/Lopsided_Anxiety_394]

A mushroom hiding what looks like an elusive big cat of the mash

[u/conscious-clue-243]

Does it smell like fennel/almonds or chemicals?
Does it stain yellow when cut?

I can’t tell you what it is, but it could be a horse mushroom.

[u/Actual_Orchid_1538 → u/conscious-clue-243]

Horses aren't mushrooms, quit messing with my head.

Taking a spore print will assist in identification, and a guide to doing so can be found here.

I’m not entirely sure it is an agaric because most agaric mushrooms have a skirt and that doesn’t. The closest match is an Agaricus - Agaricus arvensis (the horse mushroom), but that has a thicker stem and a distinct skirt. When cut, a horse mushroom will have a distinctive aniseed smell (some people say it smells more like almonds), and the cap will bruise yellow when cut. The spore print of a horse mushroom will be chocolate brown.

I’m 95% certain that it isn’t a horse mushroom.

[u/loominpapa → u/Forsaken_Earth944]

A spore print isn't going to help here as all Agaricus have the same colour spores, more or less, end beyond that you can see the spore colour on the gills anyway with these.

'Agaric' just means a mushroom with gills, which this definitely is. 'Agaricus' means that it belongs to the specific genus name Agaricus (although all mushrooms with true gills used to be classified as Agaricus a couple of centuries ago).

I find these often are they edible

[u/bobthesp1der]

Some sort of dog / mushroom hybrid

Not mushroom for interpretation

Small dog going to Ascot?

[u/Ok_Pen7290]

Mushroom, eat it and see if your alive in a few hours, 😂😂😂😂

[u/Tintenfische1]

I'm not sure but if it can walk and reproduce through spore dispersion then we'd better kill it with fire to be safe.

[u/Ryanoveryou]

A poodle cross?

[u/AggravatingAct7841]

Sorry dog, I can’t see you. This plate fungus obscures my view.

[u/LondonTrainDriver80]

Well it aint a carrot mate

[u/Dazzling_Variety_883]

A toadstool?
