    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.
