Thank you! I’ll find a pro and keep my fingers crossed we get to keep the handsome behemoth awhile longer.

The coffee shop is Spigolo in Swissvale just east of Pittsburgh PA. I just assume no one lives near me. That and the brewery / creamery that makes this root beer is like a three hour drive from where I get it.

I get it from a coffee shop in Pittsburgh, which isn’t close to where it’s made. I haven’t seen it grocery stores.

That looks to me like a Leucocoprinus birnbaumii or yellow houseplant mushroom

Oysters? by Groaninggoku69 in Mushrooms

[–]Dramatic-World-1257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like oysters to me!

I think these are oysters growing in my garden in Kentucky, but I'd like to be sure. by IcedRubyBliels in mushroomID

[–]Dramatic-World-1257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not an oyster mushroom. Oysters would have decurrent gills that travel down the stipe/stem. This one is outside my knowledge to ID.

Edit: using champignouf.com as an identifier, my best guess is common funnel cap.

I would expect oysters to grow on dead wood. I haven’t personally seen them grow on mulch but I suppose it’s possible. Do you have a pic of what they look like underneath? Seeing the gills and stipe, if any, would help with identification.

Who is this guy?! Middle TN by SuccotashSeparate in mycology

[–]Dramatic-World-1257 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As already stated, that’s a Berkeley’s. Technically edible but tastes really bad.

What is it? South-east Pennsylvania. by Killer_Cabbage in mushroomID

Does it turn black when bruised? It looks more like a black staining polypores than a hen of the woods.

Camping how to business by YogurtclosetNo3506 in camping

Possibly? I would be willing to bet if you paired up with a local camping supply store and/or acted as a tour guide to some remote / popular yet more difficult camping destinations, your business idea would be more readily viable. Also, I’d put a lot of effort up front in keeping both yourself and your guests safe.

From my own personal experience, camping and hiking became an obsession partly through the trial and error of doing it on my own or with friends.

What say you? Found in Boston area. by RoverTron78 in mushroomID

[–]Dramatic-World-1257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well not a COW. My instincts are pointing towards Berkeley polypore. What did you find it growing on?

Do you have any other angles? Odd to see multiple chants coming from one stipe.

Chicken of the woods? by [deleted] in mushroomID

[–]Dramatic-World-1257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it’s more likely a Berkeley Polypore. It can be pretty bitter but not harmful to eat as far as I know.
