    This is actually good yes

    Also they are edible but not very tasty. Have eaten one before. Just absolutely do not ever eat one of them and then drink alcohol. It will severely fuck your organs.

      You for sure should not “identify” mushrooms based on pictures on the internet. There is so, so much missing information here.

        Its really not that hard, depending on the mushroom. While I didn’t exactly identify it I am aware that all the mushrooms that could look like this are essentially harmless. I know enough about them to be able to do that thankfully. You don’t need all the information when you have all the information you need.

          Please understand this is coming from a concern for people’s safety and not an attack against you.

          Mycologists agree that LBMs (little brown mushrooms) are notoriously difficult to identify. Many little brown mushrooms ARE toxic.

          There are a few species of mushrooms that look a lot like this but are extremely deadly. You simply do not have enough info to ID these mushrooms.

          In order to id mushrooms you need at least:

          • exact location
          • time of year
          • accompanying flora
          • picture of the gills
          • a spore print

          Anyone who tries to identify a mushroom with any less than this is putting people at risk.

            I get it but this is not an LBM and I did have the ability to identify this one with a degree of certainty I felt comfortable with. I have a lot more experience with this than I can demonstrate through a lemmy comment and a lot more went into ID than just looks. I even gave warning for what to avoid if it were one of the toxic ones.

      OP’s mushrooms actually aren’t the same section as the alcohol inkys you had. Nobody really eats the rabbit foot inkys because they’re smaller and have basically no flesh but they don’t react with alcohol the same way.

          It’s difficult to tell the difference within a section such as between alcohol inkys C. Atramentaria and C. Striata (slightly pointier).

          But the C. Lagopus group is pretty different, they’re less than half the size, they’re covered in white hairs when they’re young, and they have flesh so thin that it turns inside out and transparent as the inside starts to turn to ink like you can see in OPs photo.

          Compare to this photo from Wikipedia which shows how C. Atramentaria looks when it’s turning to ink (or deliquescing if you’re fancy).
