This has just popped up in my lawn. The bottom is a sort of 'bulb' thing. I picked them all, carefully, as soon as they popped up but a friend has terrified me saying they could be Destroying Angel. Any knowledgeable folks around??

Lick it? Wink

If that's the bottom, what's the top like??

DailyFailAreTwats · 28/08/2019 21:39

No, that's the top! The bottom is a small bulb... I do realise it looks rather dodgy...

Not even the most knowledgeable of fungi experts couldnt tell you what that is from that 1 picture. You need to see the gills, take a spore print and know it's location and environment just to start to id a mushroom. And even then I wouldn't even touch it without knowing for sure what it is.

Well its rated 18+ I can tell you that, but otherwise not too sure

Stinkhorn?

I thought stinkhorn too, not many other phallic shaped fungi out there!

That is clearly a knobroom.

I pick and eat mushrooms but wouldn't touch that one with the proverbial bargepole!
