4.British Soldiers. Nut a mushroom but a Lichen.

dex- Really like the B&W #5 . It's an aminita which are usually very photogenic. Possibly Aminita pantherina? Impossible to say w/o more info and possibly spore prints. #6 looks like a more matured aminita as well. FWII.

I grow Shitakes but they're still sleeping....a few more weeks when it cools off they'll be busting out and ready to eat!

One was a beaut though.....bigger around than a bread plate!!
Finally snapped some shots, these are just babies.
Its a very common misidentification. They actually have a symbiotic relationship with real mushrooms and the host tree. I believe they were frequently used medicinally as a sedative. They do, however, contain toxins (like 99.9% of all mushrooms).
