Amy_A (OP) User ID: 16982804 United States 11/25/2012 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree with this, but what type? It is a light weight wood like stalk. I have also found some crazy looking Mushrooms in my area that have appeared over the past year. Seems something is causing some strange varieties of Mushrooms to grow in my area. Thanks everyone.

oh_yikes User ID: 28358913 United States 11/25/2012 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All mushrooms and fungus look strange to a certain degree. I often find things popping up in the woodpile or near old tree stumps, or under trees in the thick leaf old. I cannot identify that exact type of fungus, but I would guess it is not unusual or out of place wherever it was found. I will do a google image search for fungus to see if I can find something similar. |

There was actually two of these and nothing else but dirt. Thanks in advance. Peace Amy |

Does anyone know what it is. It is hard yet very light weight. It reminds me of some type of mushroom. It has no light or water under the house.

Ralph--a house dog User ID: 25802009 United States 11/25/2012 05:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You could contact the local county agricultural agent & send them your pics, or a botany dept of a nearby university.

Zedakah User ID: 25719696 United States 11/25/2012 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The angle of the picture you took looks like a polypore, possibly something like a Pseudofistulina (just do a google image search) or Ganoderma lucidum. But also may be another odd polypore given the branching stem structure like this one. [link to images.digitalmycology.com] I'd also look into Amauroderma as those are long-stalked polypores. [link to mushroomobserver.org] - looks like one of the pictures you posted. The other option is that it could be a phallales, since those are notorious for growing in flower pots. However, the fruiting structure looks unlike any phallales I've seen. If you provide some better pictures with more angles, I can probably give you a better ID on it.

Clavariadelphus occidentalis is a pretty good bet; they can grow up to 17 cm (6.7 inches) but this specimen looks maybe desiccated? [link to www.mykoweb.com] Clavariadelphus pistillaris can grow up to 30cm (almost a foot in length. [link to www.rogersmushrooms.com] It's an unusual specimen. Is there a mycologist at your local university. I'm sure they'd like to see it. Assume it's dangerous upon prudence.
