The community frequently discusses mushroom, id, found, help, and mushrooms, and the most common flair used is north america (country/state in post), europe (country in post), asia (country in post), (location in post), and australia (state/territory in post).
A place to get genus/species identification from pictures of fruiting bodies! It helps to include good quality pictures of the mushroom in its native environment, the location you found them, photos of both the top and underside. It is also useful to know what the mushroom was growing on - wood, dung or on the ground? Nearby trees are also helpful to know.
The more information you provide the more confident our IDs will be!
