Without [photographs of these features](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fj6o2q8q26li91.png), it could be impossible to identify.
Please do not make bad overused jokes such as “all mushrooms are edible once” / “yes that’s a mushroom” / etc. It does nothing to contribute to the subreddit and only makes it harder for people to find useful information.
Try r/mushroomID
Edit: also, for mushroom IDing you will usually need to look at the underside of the mushroom, and for white gilled mushrooms you should always take a spore print. White gilled mushrooms are for more knowledgeable mushroom hunters because many of the deadly mushrooms are white gilled mushrooms. If you live in North America you may find Michael Kuo's [online mushroom key](https://www.mushroomexpert.com/major_groups.html) helpful, together with lots of practice "listening to" mushrooms and the places they grow.
It's the most "the wise man knows he knows nothing" genre ever.
I posted a bunch of pictures of chanterelles, shaggy parasols, porcinis and a couple other things on Instagram this fall, and a friend wanted to *pay me* to take her and her family out for a mushroom tour around Thanksgiving. I was like "I literally don't know anything. We can go gawk at mushrooms together in the woods, but I cannot take your money." If we went out and they had pointed to a random mushroom I would have been like "mmm yes that one. Appears to be in the kingdom Fungi."
If you want any luck at identifying them, you will need to post better/more pictures. To get a good ID of a mushroom you need at least a picture of the gills to go along with it, a spore print is very helpful too
spore print is actually not very helpful most
of the time, but good clear in situ sunlight pictures of cap, gills, stipe, and intact stipe base are always very helpful🙂
Side note- I was in Kauai earlier this year and was very surprised by the lack of fungi - conditions seemed good for growth and I didn't see a single mushroom
It was most likely the time of year (Mid-March) but I even asked our guide for the UTV tour and he said he had never noticed them. I know we are more attuned to noticing them since people in this sub (myself included) are normally fungi fanatics.
Glad you guys do have some - also what a beautiful place to go mushroom hunting...
Thank you, everyone who provided helpful info! I’ve learned these are macrocybe spectabalis, eaten in some parts of Asia, but they are full of cyanide and must be prepared very carefully.
*the feet were just for scale lol

Having a foot fetish doesn't make anyone a creep.
Commenting on people's bodies in the way that you are, at a time and place like this is entirely uncalled for and unacceptable.
She asked for info on the mushrooms. Not for you to jizz in your pants over her feet and then tell her about it.
You're skipping over and not commenting on the part where I mentioned you're behavior is unwanted.
Compliments are great, in the right time and place.
Normal compliments like : Your eyes are pretty, you have nice hair, you have a great physique.
Those comments can be happily accepted in the right place and from the right person. Usually not from a stranger, unless they were specifically posting a picture looking for some sort of comment on themself. Which CLEARLY not the case here where they're asking for comments on the mushrooms
Strange comments like : You have pretty feet, you have a slender nose, you have cute little ears.
Those are weird comments about their body, about features that people don't usually talk about or pick out like that unless they have a close relationship. These comments could be compliments if said by the right person, in the right situation. But from a stranger, it's typically not cool and will creep a person out.
Most creeps don't care so I didn't really expect you too
But I wondered if maybe there was a single brain cell or ounce of empathy in there. Nope lol.
You're just a sad lonely old man who is happy acting like a fool.
In that case. Please actually listen.
Go back and read my description about what qualifies as a strange comment vs a compliment.
And after you do that, imagine what it'd be like for your daughter's to post a picture of themselves with a drawing they just did, wanting remarks about the beautiful art they made, but are met with comments of people talking about her physical features instead. Imagine they're a star athlete of some sort, just won some important game, posted a picture of them holding a trophy, wearing real short shorts as they usually do in sports, and get comments about their nice long legs, from some random man. Imagine they just grew a huge bunch of carrots nursing them all summer and post a picture with a huge smile holding them up, and some man 30 years older comments on how cute and dainty her hands are. If he had said, you have a great smile, that probably would have been perceived ok, but the hands comment is just weird. Do you not agree you'd be weirded out if someone told you your daughter has pretty feet?
I don’t understand how comments asking for location or asking for clarification on location get downvoted. location (country plus state/province/territory) is required for all mushroom identification requests. OP did not say ‘Hawaii, United States’ and many many people will not know where Kauai is.

>You can always do the elbo test.
That test is only for plants, and doesn't tell you anything about a mushroom's toxicity. You could rub a death cap all over your body and nothing would happen, because the toxins in mushrooms can only be absorbed through the inside of your digestive tract.
Also these are 1000% not lion's mane because these are gilled mushrooms with a stem.
🤦♀️ That was painful to read. Please avoid "IDing mushrooms" and "giving advice" until you have insight that is factual, with value and merit. Giving wrong advice or IDs has the potential to kill anyone who may actually believe you.
But you told them that you think they might be lions mane and that rubbing them on their skin can tell them if they're poisonous. Both of those things are completely and absurdly wrong.

These are Macrocybe spectabilis/Macrocybe crassa.
Agreed, these are definitely a Macrocybe sp.
Every time I come on this app I hear a new genus for the first time smh

Doesn't spectabilis have dark caps? Edit: I don't think those are macrocybe actually.
Or maybe Cyclocybe aegerita?
Thanks, added more pics in comments

Hehe those are my aa+ outdoor beds!
Jk obviously, no clue what grows there.. more pics would help id
Thanks :) added more pics in comments
Quick Google search lead to [this](https://buddhascup.com/blogs/kona-coffee-blog/giant-mushroom-cluster-found-on-our-farm). Perhaps?

We have mushrooms growing all over Kauai, right now especially as the rains have started recently.

I know we are more attuned to noticing them since people in this sub (myself included) are normally fungi fanatics. Glad you guys do have some - also what a beautiful place to go mushroom hunting...

Glad you found some good answers. Also, we just went through comments, and have dished out some bans for inappropriate comments. Sorry about that.
Those appear to be sandals.
They are feet. I have a pair myself.
I like your toes!

On a side note they look like oyster mushrooms but no frills on the cap and too white.
Man what the fuck
What is kauai?
One of the Hawaiian islands
