termite balls, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularhizoctonia
Stem base a gold color. Growing in grass behind the biology lab.
This Hypholoma fasciculare attempted to get into the edibles basket and was shot by the Mexican guerrillas.
Found in a potted Crassula ovata plant.
Pileus surface grabrous.
Lamellae unchanging when bruised.
Spores dextrinoid, (5.3–)5.5–6.3(–6.6) × (3.6–)4–4.6(–4.5) μm, (mean length = 5.87 ± 0.4, mean width = 4.29 ± 0.28, Q = (1.2–)1.3–1.5(–1.6), mean Q = 1.38 ± 0.14).
Basidia 4-spores, (18.4–)19.2–22.6(–22.3) × (7.2–)7.3–8.5(–8.7) μm, (mean length = 20.91 ± 1.74, mean width = 7.92 ± 0.62, Q = (2.1–)2.3–3.1(–3), mean Q = 2.66 ± 0.4).
Pleurocystidia were not observed.
Compared to L. birnbaumii, spores are much smaller, Pileus is glabrous, and color is pale.
On humus made of broken down/decomposed water hyacinth/Eichhornia crassipes. The soil looks dark and smells earthy. The hyacinth has been discarded here many times previously. Weeds grow vigorously here. Side of Old Mondego River. There were two bunches of these gilled powdery mushroom. The first one had 30 units in caespitose form. The other one had six units in another spot. The smell of cap is close to almost dry cow patty. Very sharp and disgusting smell.
Tiny, by anyone's standards. Not easily observed except via enlarged photography. Occurring on Cow Dung that is about (no less than) 8 weeks old.
They are little more that 6-10mm high when mature. They quickly deliquesce once the cap is open. Delicate, silvery stipe with grey, slightly warty, cap
,
It is possible they might be Coprinopsis xenobia

But further microscopic ID by me is impossible. These occur in the sheltered folds of the dung, in partnership with much larger Cheilymenia and the really tiny Pilobolus, each seen in the photos.
V165. Growing from the ground in a mesquite bosque at about 3300 ft. in elevation. All of this type of mushroom has small holes in the cap, giving it an almost lacy appearance.
Apareceu no vaso de plantas, gostaria de saber o que é 🤔
Single medium mushroom growing out of potting mix and cow manure in Daintree pine pot. Cap pale yellow with darker yellow remnants dotted all over it, parasol-shaped, striated. Gills yellow with darker edges. Stem clavate, one layer of remnants, yellow. Then more came up.
Found in a friend's potted plant
Single fruiting body on ground under back deck.
Pileus light yellow (the light yellow does not show well in the images) with a light brown central disk. Cap 3 cm diam, Stipe 4.7 x 0.2 cm with a 0.7 cm bulbous base. Basidiospores (5) 6-7 x 4 (4.5) microm.
~1.5" tall, bright yellow
Last 2 photos were taken a week after the first 3 photos.
Collected from Margaret C.’s indoor planter in western Washington State
Identified by Dr Manoj Kumar A, 3 fruiting bodies observed under the tree Peltoforum pterocarpum
Seasonally flooded (ombrophilous) primary Juma forest, IVO Juma Amazon Lodge, 62 miles (100 km) southeast of Manaus, Rio Juma, Autazes Municipality, State of Amazonas, Brazil.
lots of these small, white, rigid, branching structures emerging from the soil. not quite sure what is going on here
me gustaría saber si alguien sabe que especie de hongo es, ya que lo vi en una excursion en el Cuyo, yucatan pero no he logrado identificarlo
Has a ring, all white, with white addpressed scales. Spores 9 x 6 mu.
This beautiful shroom started growing in a friend’s house plant 🪴 Don’t know exactly the I’d .
Visual Description: Whiteish-yellow in color with a darker yellow color closer to the center of the cap. Lines can be seen running down the cap, starting from the center. Dark yellow bumps dot the cap. Around 3.5 inches to 4 inches tall.
Defining Characteristics: Part of the phylum Basidiomycota, as seen with the mushroom fruiting body. The fruiting body has a slender stem with a conical shape. Gills on the bottom of the cap are not attached to the stem.
Habitat: Found in a flower pot, next to a plant, on the back porch of my house. Appeared and sprouted in about 2 days. It can usually found in warm environments, mostly found in flower pots, greenhouses, and by trail paths.

Observed growing on mulch next to a house alongside cultivated plants and other species of fungus
This was some sort of fungus or plant growth growing on an oak tree root in the crawlspace of someone’s house. My partner is a plumber and knows I enjoy nature mysteries. he sent me these thinking it was a “dangerous mushroom” 😂 unfortunately this is the only pic he got and didn’t bring a sample home. He says they’re about 2 feet in length each. Some had a “paddle” on the end. My partner did some investigating and poked the root below one of these large growths. It was so brittle and hollow that it just broke straight through(third photo). The second photo looks like a lacquered bracket, and the long coral-like arms almost look like new growths, but on this scale, I’m stumped! I’ve heard of giant ganodermas, but wasn’t expecting to find one in South Carolina? Anyone know what in the world is going on here??
