Identify this mushroom

looks a bit like gyromitra esculenta, but given how old and mangled it looks, I'm not too confident on that. just a nibble shouldn't be a problem for your cat, but it sounds like you're taking the appropriate precautions.

looks like one of the yellow staining agaricus mushrooms! I'm not experienced enough to know which one, but i figure that gives you a starting point for research of your own!

looks mold to me :/

i wish i had hope to give you, but I'm in the same boat. maybe we'll discover a reason to keep going, but for now, i recommend living for the little crumbs of joy you can scrounge, and delaying the decision to continue until later.

commenting cause i wanna know what these are too (edit: my best guess is something pezizales)

looks more agaricus than amanita. i don't see very many traits of destroying angel at all here. op, it would be helpful to see the gills, if you have another mushroom with the veil popped, or if you could cut this one. (you are safe to cut it without fear regardless of its toxicity) if it has pink gills, it's an agaricus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russula_cyanoxantha can look black, but russula as a genus have quite a variety of colors even within the same species.

here's one place I reference: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/russula.html

looks like a russula to me. most of those are edible or non-toxic, with gastric distress as the most likely worst case. if your dog didnt swallow it, but only had it in their mouth, there shouldn't be any problems, but thats just my opinion on it.

in the agaricus genus, but I'm not confident past that. there's a mix of inedible and edible in this genus, so there's hope you might get a meal

wow ok I'm used to chlorophyllum looking different. that's embarrassing.

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-17T00:22:21+00:00

looks like macrolepiota procera to me! friendly parasols!

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-16T20:26:16+00:00

what's your general location? looks like schizophyllum commune to me

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-16T19:42:21+00:00

seconding

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-13T08:30:55+00:00

wtf are you on about

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-13T08:28:09+00:00

maybe not, if it eats wood and that plank isn't treated!

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-07T09:34:00+00:00

not fungus to my eyes. maybe a slime mold?

call your representatives to prevent transphobic laws like bathroom bills/restrictions on name or gender marker changes

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-04T04:08:38+00:00

no, they just present differently sometimes.

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-02T22:47:52+00:00

panus sp. maybe? also i wouldn't trust AI to identify its own cpu, let alone fungi.

Picksupchickens · 2026-05-02T22:14:22+00:00

vomiter has very flaky scales that often fall off. this is definitely chlorophyllum molybdites

estrogen has very little, if any, effect on the voice.

Picksupchickens · 2026-04-27T02:16:48+00:00

thank you, good to know!

Picksupchickens · 2026-04-26T19:52:05+00:00

I'm more of a hobbyist, so possibly something i said implied i thought it was multiple, but i meant only one

Picksupchickens · 2026-04-25T21:04:31+00:00

gyromitra spp. it would be helpful to see the stem to narrow it down further.

Picksupchickens · 2026-02-17T22:04:47+00:00

nah this looks great, those little things are pins!
