This is a pretty free-form subreddit, but there are a few rules. We have a ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR ANY AND ALL SPAM. Reddiquette is always applicable to anything you do on reddit, but in this subreddit:

No sales of anything. Not art, drugs, food, clothing, pins, or anything else. Feel free to post photos of your art. If people want to message you to buy something, that's great, but do NOT solicit sales here for anything, ever. No links to shops. Any sales, trades, barters, professional arrangements, etc. involving money, assets or goods are prohibited in post content or in the comments. No one knows what you do via PM. Keep the business ENTIRELY in the PMs. Do not ask for products or links to shops, and don't express your desire for someone's art in a way that implies intent to buy. Do not say things like "I would totally buy that!" or "Do you have an Etsy?" or "You should set up an Etsy!" or "PM me for info" or "Can I PM you about this?"... just PM them and keep it out of the comments.

  1. Adhere to the Reddit Content Policy and Reddiquette.

  2. No sales of ANYTHING. No spam.

  3. No posts of large drug operations. It limits our audience and there are far too many complaints about it. This isn't a place to advertise your grow business and it's not a place to brag about how much weight of cubes you can grow. There are plenty of subs for that type of thing.

  4. Don't post pics of dried Psilocybe mushrooms. If your post title resembles this: "Are these 'good'?" or "Just got these from a friend, how much should I take?" or "Can anyone tell me what 'strain' these are?" - then it doesn't belong here.

  5. This should go without saying, but no sourcing. Do not ask for drugs, locations of drugs, tips for finding, hunting, or scoring drugs in any specific place (hunting advice is generally accepted - habitat, seasonality, substrate, and range are all acceptable, and ID posts are always encouraged no matter the species, as long as they're not dried bagged "product"). Do not ask for any kind of hook-ups, plugs, websites, or any other means of procuring drugs.

  6. Do not joke about eating mushrooms. No "Boof it!" or "Eat the whole bag" or "I dare you to eat that!" type comments. If your comment might endanger someone by misleading them or encouraging dangerous behavior, it will be removed and you may be banned.

  7. Don't repeatedly post the same content, or similar content presented in a different way, including and especially art.

To all the lurkers, use the report button and use the downvote/upvote buttons to curate the sub yourselves as much as possible.

Be nice to each other in here.

Are these off-white nodules indicative of concerning/unwanted fungal growth?

I'm proud of my Dad. His hobbies don't always go well and he thought these didn't work out cause he started them months ago but nothing happened. He noticed these a few days ago. Yay, go Dad!

Picked what I think the be small parasol and some amanitas, what is the best way to preserve them for display? Is drying the best way? I have a food drier but I've never used it for mushrooms.

Thank you

Those were found growing between concrete and soil, under a big pine tree, in my garden, in Athens, Greece. Anyone know what they are?

This description has always made me nervous to try them. Is this common? Any blewit Collybia nuda eaters out there encounter this terrifying issue? Is it best to do a wet sautée to cook them down first?

My parents started sprouting up these mushrooms in a few large patches in part of their yard in Massachusetts. Any one happen to know what they are, and if they’re safe to have around dogs?
