It’s been very rainy and humid this summer

Mushrooms are a sign of healthy soil! Did you by chance get some pro-mix with mycorrhizae or something similar?

Thanks, Mr. Connery.
That looks fun, guy.
These look like Coprinopsis section Lanatule “Rabbit foot inky caps”. They’re called that because they’re covered in white fuzz when they first pop up.
This one I found has about half the fuzz worn off but it’s enough to get the picture.
Good thread. I saw a bunch of these in my newly planted pots as well and was concerned but decided to ignore and hope for the best. Now I know they’re fine
This has happened to me before. I think the mushroom spores came from store bought soil. That’s my guess.
They are all over my garden, and used shared soil so probably. Had a good laugh when I saw this
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.
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.
I thought it was hard to tell the difference without a microscope? How could you tell?
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).
Ahhh, thank you fellow mycophile ❤️
Can I drink alcohol before, and then chase it with shrooms?
Definitely not lol
What
Inky caps, it looks like.
They have a compound in them that temporarily disables an enzyme your body’s uses in the metabolism of alcohol. Heart palpitation/arrhythmia issues are also a possibility.
They destroy gonads too? Nice
Sounds like some gonads and strife.
not exactly FDA approved is it
The mushroom is edible but if you drink alcohol it makes the alcohol hurt you badly. They are also an indication of good soil
The parsley is doing fine. Nothing wrong going on here.
In the 7a/b area and my parsley would be at this stage right about now too, it grows super slow until the back half of the summer into fall usually.
I only grow it for the butterflies though, so ymmv
