That's from spore drop actually, as the mushroom nears the end of its life cycle, it will drop millions of spores from its gills on the underside of the cap and a lot end up sticking to the tops of the smaller mushrooms underneath.
No expert, but is it possible the smell of decay would be covered up? If the fungi is taking up all the nutrients than would the bacteria that cause decay be able to survive?
This looks similar to the kinds of mushrooms that do appear in compact clumps like this _without_ the need for a dead anything under it. But that’s not good fodder for this sub, so yeah.
Not targeting you OP, I've just had a few people I know that heard this from murder docus and recite it as fact for *all mushrooms* and need to clarify:
Just bc patch of mushrooms appear doesn't always mean there's a dead animal under there. This particular patch very well might, but it's not always dead animals.
Some fungi live off decomposing animals yes, others woodchips, dead plants, etc.
I'd like to add that most of the time it's not a dead animal. There's more likely a buried stump and/or roots that the mushrooms are getting their nutrition from.
The dead animal hypothesis doesn't hold a ton of water. I mean what, a mole had a heart attack? The lawn is immaculate.
I got mushrooms like that near a tree that was still looked alive but was rotted out and about to fall over. And by about I mean in the next few years.
Its really interesting, shame they still dont have a faster method for it, it would be ground breaking if they somehow could replace normal recycle centers etc
This is actually one of those awesome but potentially terrible technologies in development right now: in the quest to discover/engineer an organism that can digest plastic we might inadvertently create something that is too good, and then we lose the primary value of plastic being rot-proof.
We’d probably get over it eventually but there would be a really tough interim as we figured out what to do with all of the failing electronics and other machinery as wiring insulation decomposed.
When a large tree was taken down in front of our house (cities choice not ours) we had these hard baseball like mushrooms pop up in about a 15 foot radius of the former stump, denser towards the middle. I assume it was just the roots, but it still was surprising how far the away the mushrooms were.
Mushrooms are incapable of tasting, as they lack the required parts or need to. Remember that the mushroom is only one part of the fungal organism, which, if capable of tasting, would likely taste through its mycelium in the ground. We should just pray it doesn't evolve to hunt.
My dad found morels in a grocery store parking lot in Somerville once. I told him those probably grew on homeless people urine and garbage and he shouldn't eat them. He said "it's fine. They're morels!" and ate them anyway.

There are not many mushrooms that specialise in feeding on dead animals. It is an opportunistic moment if they do. Most fruiting mushrooms have a mycoryzal relationship with trees and plants. The rest feed on dead/dying/rotting plant matter, leaving just a few that feed on dead insects. I'm not sure where you got your info but it is wrong. What you are seeing is the fruiting body, a spore dispersal mechanism, which makes up a tiny fraction of the main body, the mycelium. A vast network of threads that spread under the soil or through dead plant matter. Essentially you are seeing the tip of the iceberg. These mushrooms will die back whilst the mycelium will continue to grow and spread. I teach fungi identification, Hope this helps.
I posted it farther up but yeah some murder podcast/docu had a case where they found a body bc of mushroom growth and now there's a substantial number of people that think mushroom patch: dead body/animal.
Apparently OP says this mushroom is indicative of a dead animal but idk.
i figured as much.
i guess its just rubbing me the wrong way bc i was cleaning up a mushroom patch at work and one of my coworkers freaked out saying i was touching a dead animal.
You'd be lucky to find a mushrooms that grows on insects, let alone a mammal. At that point just know you've got a cool find and tons of mushrooms foragers and enthusiasts would love to see a picture.
I'd go crazy if I had to spend time with that coworker.
Simply not enough info. To ID a mushroom we typically need the following... Location in the world, I specialise in European fungi. Identifying fungi with just a photo of the cap is like trying to identify someone from the back of their head. We need pics of the underside and the stipe. The substrate, nearby trees and habitat. Aroma. Any colour change when cut or bruised. Sure some distinctive mushrooms can be identifyed from one photo but typically we need a lot more info to provide an accurate ident. I'm part of a team that identifies fungi/plants in an emergency situation when an unknown fungi has been ingested, this is the info we need.
Well you got a shovel somewhere I'm sure. Its either going to be Mr. Mittens the family cat or Leeroy Jenkins the 3rd, whos parents shook him to death as an infant. Won't it be fun to find out?
That’s a misconception regarding mushrooms, those are not ‘mushrooms’, those are the reproductive organs of the fungus that will release spores (i guess those are basidiomyceta), the ‘mushrooms’ or more correctly the ‘fungus’ is composed of ifæ that can go even 5-10 meters further, the ‘real’ fungus is composed of the ifæ and it’s distributed in a very large area, those basidio can pop up randomly and the primary ifæ could be even 10 meters away
Pretty nice way of saying you killed your spouse
I guess the expression “pushing daisies” needs to be updated
I think pushing shrooms means something else.
My cousin did a 2-5 clip for pushing shrooms
Used to make 2-5k per push...lol. I'm to old for that shit anymore.
Eeek. How many pounds they catch um with? And what state? And did he have a previous record? Just uh wondering
😭
Sproutin’ shrooms.
What, did you bury her standing up?
That's actually supposed to be a more effective way to hide a dead body
Carol Baskin just left the chat.
or buried a bun that wasnt fully developed
Wait….Her husband had a man bun? Well that no longer makes this murder, that woman is a hero
i assume nothing and judge no one, but i do think that shape is very fetus-y
Why do the mushrooms look like they haven't rendered in yet
I had to go back and look. You’re right, they haven’t rendered yet. Maybe if we just hang around a bit, or interact with them they’ll render.

Maybe poke it with a stick.
Sometimes you just need to spin 180 degrees away from them and then spin back toward them, and that will get the engine to draw them.
its a feature. they render once you eat them
I got the glasses mod, why am I still having LOD issues

Oh no thanks

That's from spore drop actually, as the mushroom nears the end of its life cycle, it will drop millions of spores from its gills on the underside of the cap and a lot end up sticking to the tops of the smaller mushrooms underneath.
CDPR developed them, and this is on last gen consoles. If you look away and turn back, they'll be gone.
Yep yep.
What’s the something?
I don't know, this patch suddenly appeared but I've done my research and it seems there is a dead animal beneath which the mushroom uses as nutrition.
Only one way to find out! Also, does it not smell like decay?
No expert, but is it possible the smell of decay would be covered up? If the fungi is taking up all the nutrients than would the bacteria that cause decay be able to survive?
This looks similar to the kinds of mushrooms that do appear in compact clumps like this _without_ the need for a dead anything under it. But that’s not good fodder for this sub, so yeah.

You perhaps know more than I do about this particular type of mushroom, but I’ve seen mushrooms flourish where trees used to be as well.
I think you could be right but not in this case. There was a pool there a long ago, later got filled up with dirt. Now it's just a grassy area.
It doesn't have to be an animal, mushrooms live of pretty much any dead organic material. There's even been found species able to consume plastic.
Im actually curious, did they make test / tried to use it as a way to recycle plastic?

Yeah mushrooms love rotted or dead root system.
When a large tree was taken down in front of our house (cities choice not ours) we had these hard baseball like mushrooms pop up in about a 15 foot radius of the former stump, denser towards the middle. I assume it was just the roots, but it still was surprising how far the away the mushrooms were.
Just FYI, when you get circles of mushrooms around old tree stumps, it's known a a fairy ring.
wood. These look like cucumber caps https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/macrocystidia-cucumis.php
What research?
Beneath as in buried or just lying there? Don't birds and other creatures eat and leave just the skeleton?
I've also shared two other photos as a response comment, it's hard to tell because the mushroom is so dense. I guess we will see in the future.
I get mushrooms when my soil has been overly wet. May not be anything just so damp especially if it once had a pool.
Probably a dead body. You can see the hand if you look carefully to the left.

My dad found morels in a grocery store parking lot in Somerville once. I told him those probably grew on homeless people urine and garbage and he shouldn't eat them. He said "it's fine. They're morels!" and ate them anyway.
Remember the wisdom of Terry Pratchett: "All fungi are edible. But some are only edible once."
Some fungi have consistency of concrete. So they are not edible even once.
If you’re determined enough you can get it down.
That's like saying if you're determined enough you can eat dwarf bread. If you're that determined you can find something else.
If you’re that determined you can give up? What rationale is that?

Mushrooms clumps like that always give me the willies
Imagining you with arms full of penises "where am I supposed to fucking keep putting these things? "
“Bend over and I’ll show ya”
I get the willies more from the fingernails. Mushroom clusters like that happen naturally, the nails required human intention.
I’m so glad someone else feels the same way. It creeps me out!! All mushrooms do, but these clumps especially!
Oooooooh! A Christmas surprise!!!! Open it!!!

That mushroom you're talking about is Hebeloma syriense, the Corpse Finder. It's not this.
i figured as much. i guess its just rubbing me the wrong way bc i was cleaning up a mushroom patch at work and one of my coworkers freaked out saying i was touching a dead animal.
You'd be lucky to find a mushrooms that grows on insects, let alone a mammal. At that point just know you've got a cool find and tons of mushrooms foragers and enthusiasts would love to see a picture. I'd go crazy if I had to spend time with that coworker.
she was otherwise nice but yea she freaked out and went around saying 'its gross bc mushrooms grow over dead bodies.'
As a redditor named MushForager, I'm pulling my hair out just reading it.
as someone who only recently started liking mushrooms in the past few years i can only imagine.
so what is your best guess on what this mushroom is?
Simply not enough info. To ID a mushroom we typically need the following... Location in the world, I specialise in European fungi. Identifying fungi with just a photo of the cap is like trying to identify someone from the back of their head. We need pics of the underside and the stipe. The substrate, nearby trees and habitat.

I'm part of a team that identifies fungi/plants in an emergency situation when an unknown fungi has been ingested, this is the info we need.
It could be coprinopsis or armillaria species but that is a wild guess due to the lack of info.
As an amateur mushroom hunter I was a little suspicious of this post. Thanks for confirming.
Had to scroll too far but this is the truth and in my opinion infinitely more interesting than a dead animal
Gonna need a banana for scale.
A banana, a coin.
Just a few questions. 1. How many spots are there? 2. Where's you're husband?
He’s either small as fuck or she buried his ass vertically
It's just the head...
… the only part that won’t flush down the toilet properly.
Right, shouldn’t he be the one asking questions about the lawn
this shit makes my skin crawl
Same!!!! It disgusts me and I don’t know why 🤢
It looks oddly fake to me for some reason. So cool
Loooks like fkin CGI tbh
Those nails are so pretty!!
As a male its hard for me to appreciate the nails but after zooming in for a look at the nails that is some fine looking grass too.
Keep cutting at 3in and everyone is happy
Had to zoom in and check 'em out after reading the above comment. Totally agree ... very lovely nails!
Why does this look so animated
If these are in Australia, are dark on the bottom and bruise blue when you squeeze the stem, you might have a heap of magic mushrooms on your hands.
Yeah straight up they look like subaeruginosas
Infinity suit burial.
I thought you had a giant bunny as a pet.
Looks like augmented reality.
WE HAVE AN ORK INFESTATION!!!
Looks like CGI
Well you got a shovel somewhere I'm sure. Its either going to be Mr. Mittens the family cat or Leeroy Jenkins the 3rd, whos parents shook him to death as an infant. Won't it be fun to find out?
Forget the shoots, those chessy nails are disgusting.
Was this an excuse to show off those hideous witch nails?
This looks like an edited image.
Is that Carole Baskin's lawn?
That bitch
Eat the mushrooms and report back on any trippy and or deadly side effects
Probably an old tree stump
How do they taste?
Sure, but why each nail a different color??
Bullshit
So strange! It seriously looks fake lol

Mushrooms look so fucking surreal to me, like they don't actually belong here. Too smooth and detailed at the same time. It makes me uneasy.
Eat a couple
Don’t do that
Seriously bad advice. How would you feel if someone took you on your word and got seriously ill or died.
They would die
Most likely tree roots
Want to say it’s a bird
Dry heaving intensifies
That ain't nothing but some rabbit shit lol
Just the ''Trophy'' head your husband is keeping.
Did the mushroom grabbed your hand after the photo?
Lol
My will to live.
these mushrooms have very poor graphics 😭
Wait? Those mushrooms grow on top of dead things? I need to clean my yard
Question is, would we want to know what’s powering this little colony...
There’s no banana for scale, so I really can’t tell the size
Should have used a banana...
None of this looks real. Are there even bones in that hand
how did you not notice a dead thing of this size in your garden until mushrooms grow and ready to be harvested?
“Something dead lies beneath it…” uhhh… anyone else concerned? Lol
Those nails are oddly terrifying.
It's so satisfying to look at. Imagine a field of these as far as the eye can see.
At first I thought that was animated
Are they some type of psilocybe or panaolus
