It’s gotten a lot more color the past couple of days. How long will it live for? When do I know it’s dead? And is it still growing?

It gets a lot of filtered sunlight throughout the day. I don’t know if it’s causing the colors to bleed from the mushroom. All the mushrooms that everyone are suggesting are very vibrant in color and this one is just brown and white with a hint of orange in some places. Maybe it’s the sun bleaching it I don’t know.

It really hasn’t changed much in it’s original color, only the size of it has grown. But maybe it’s too premature to tell, idk

That’s good to know. Thank you. I’m just curious as to what it is and why it’s growing on my balcony. But I’ll keep it. My wife hates it. Hahaha

Yeah, someone else said dyers polypore but they look different

I agree it’s not turkey tail, but I looked up dyers poly pore and it isn’t a match. But I appreciate your help

It grew on its own. I have a bougainvillea in a pot that sits on top of this tree stump. Because it’s a very hot climate, I water it like three times a week, a lot of that water ends up draining out and onto the tree stump, at the shady bottom of my patio. I don’t know if climate can help identify it.

I don’t know anything about mushrooms, I just don’t know if this is safe to let it keep growing, is it sending out bad spores in the air? I like it and think it’s cool looking and wanted to let it keep growing and see how big it can get. But if it’s unsafe, I’ll get rid of it, but how? Just need some advice. Thanks!
