Hiiiii!

I took this picture at my parents house in early May. I was wondering if you know what kind of fungi these are? I haven’t seen this in my area before but I have been noticing more and new things popping up in my local nature lately. Thank you for your wonderful blog. It is a great thing to look forward to on my feed :)

hii !!

very crazy coincidence, this fungus is actually the same as the last fungus i was asked to identify :-D (link)

you can learn more about it here (link), but, in short, this is called a plantpot dapperling (l. birnbaumii). they grow most often is flowerpots like in your picture :-)

please be careful, as they are poisonous & can really upset your stomach if eaten !!

thank you for the kind words ; have a lovely day<3

hey, mongoose - i believe these are plantpot dapperlings (leucocoprinus birnbaumii), specifically a paler variant. :-)

be careful, if i am correct they are poisonous !!

@mycoblogg we recently got some rain and I found these cute yellow mushrooms growing in the yard by the base of a mountain laurel. Immediately ran to get my phone and kneel in the dirt taking pictures so I could ask you if you recognized them lol

found in my tradescantia that I had moved outside for the summer

iphone has a feature to look up plants in your photos and it thinks this is a leucocoprinus birnbaumii "flowerpot parasol" and that seems plausible

leuconie toadstool...

she is blonde, and is named after the leucocoprinus birnbaumii mushroom.

she's very cranky and a little childish. what you see here is her being hyperactive after a 1up energy drink.

(japanese may be inaccurate, but trust me. me and puz tried.)

FOTD #026 : plantpot dapperling! (leucocoprinus birnbaumii)

the plantpot dapperling (AKA flowerpot parasol) is a gilled mushroom in the family agaricaceae. it earned its name for frequently occuring in greenhouses & flowerpots. it is common in the tropics & subtropics !!

the big question : can i bite it?? OMG NO !! it is poisonous & causes stomach upset.

l. birnbaumii description :

"cap: 2–7.5 cm wide in maturity, starting bulbous to cylindrical before expanding to hemispherical or conical & flattening or sometimes appearing umbonate with age. the surface is lemon yellow to sulphur yellow, smooth or slightly powdery & covered in ragged, fibrous scales which are easily removed. the scales are darker yellow or brownish with age & more densely concentrated towards the centre disc where they often form a patch whilst at the edges they are sparser. the cap edges are striated & grooved (sulcate-striate) with a paler colour present in the grooves whilst the edges curl inwards when young before curving out with age or straightening. the cap flesh is firm when young but becomes softer & more fragile with age, it is a dull whitish colour. gills: free & often quite remote from the stem, sulphur yellow, with spacing that can vary from crowded to subdistant at up to 4mm wide. with age the gills may bulge in the middle (ventricose) & the edges can be fringed. stem: 2.5–9 cm long & 2-6mm thick at the top tapering to a bulbous or club shaped base which is 4-15mm thick. the interior is hollow but pithy with a shiny white colour whilst the exterior surface is lemon yellow to sulphur yellow & may discolour brownish with age. it is covered in fine powdery or woolly scales (pruinose to floccose-squamulose) across the full length starting from just above the base. the thin, membranous stem ring is located anywhere between the top and bottom of the stem (superior to inferior) & is movable. the top surface of it is yellow whilst the underside is whitish however the ring is evanescent & may disappear. spore print: white."

"BOOM !! one of the yellowest mushrooms i know of. ^^ thanks for the request, anon."

After a massive storm probably blew a buncha spores up into one of our abandoned planters, so many mushrooms came up!! They were yellow at first and turned whiter as they opened up. I was able to get a picture of them at night which is why the quality sucks (That and this picture was taken on my old but beloved phone)

Aww that's so cool, though! These look like the infamous Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (flowerpot parasols / plantpot dapperlings). Thank you for sharing!
