Sporeprint is the most important thing when you are unsure :-)

Perhaps a young Entoloma species.

Not sure, but, not active, possibly poisonous and shouldn't be sold to anyone.
So... Eighteen year old Tyrone from no certain region, do you own any mushroom books at all or are you just picking anything interesting and then dropping it in our laps??? Your presumption being that any time we've put into the learning is less valuable than yours. You don't even follow up diligently to your other threads. My guess is that once you learn a mushroom isn't active you no longer care what it is. And that's fine, but you've engaged in an interaction now so please take the time, even though that mushroom isn't a "shroom". Put the cap on a piece of paper and give us a spore print color. "WE" may still want to identify it and we have asked for a spore print. Only a$$h0!e$ treat interactive forums like information mills ignoring the "interactive" part. You're communicating with real people now. Practice some respect and social graces. The possibility of banning you has already come up in another one of your abandoned threads but this is not an inevitability. You need to demonstrate some social skills and a minor effort to learn something about the organisms we discuss here. If you just want some free shrooms to eat or sell, blindly trusting the ID of people you don't know and were rude to, your in the wrong place.

I disagree with you.
If he wants some free shrooms and is into blindly trusting ID's, he is in the best place on the internet for that.
Since harm reduction is one of our main goals, we should be encouraging people who have urges to eat or sell wild mushrooms to consult us first. Guys like this are exactly the kind of people that we need to be identifying mushrooms for to stop him and his customers from being poisoned.
OP's mushroom is an Entoloma. Not hallucinogenic, might be poisonous.

I'll humbly concede to that logic (and even gave you a "+" for it) but only with the caveat that I don't like encouraging that sort of behavior. I think it would be better if tyrone1995 were adequately discouraged by the daunting task of actually learning and give up the idea of picking free street drugs. Based on his navigation of the ID guide lines (which he clearly hasn't read), and his clear lack of patience I think it's entirely likely that if he ever does get a shroom ID'd here, he might start picking any vaguely similar mushroom he finds and end up poisoning someone. I really don't want to participate in that.

I think it's better to teach people as much as possible, rather than discourage them.

Mine were pretty terrible (not that I'm one of the best users). I made myself look silly, then Alan made me look even sillier.

Point taken. I tend toward cynicism. But, best possible scenario, tyrone1995 slowly takes an interest in fungi and finds his calling. Changing his future for the better. Sweet. And not possible with my avenue of thinking. I still tend to think that in some cases it's better to avert a potential bad outcome than hope for a good one. But you never can tell and with a negative approach you never can know. Thanks for the reality check.

I have been researching the different types that grow in BC and have made notes and saved pics onto my phone for comparison in the future and will stop with the random mushroom posts

Apparently he's also not asking if they are mushrooms, which might also be an improvement.

No need to stop the random mushroom posts. If your not sure what you have found and need some help,please post and we will be here to help you figure it out.

This is not a random mushroom post. This is an ID request. Don't stop making ID requests.
Just don't sell or feed anything to anyone if you don't know what it is.
If I were you at this junction, I would assume that I know nearly nothing. You know what is and is not a mushroom. "That is a cat, this is a mushroom." You do not know what any family, genera, or species are yet. And that's ok. And would have ID's made on any mushroom I was interested in.
I have been hunting for nearly a decade and consider myself to know very little.
Patience is essential for this hobby. Either you have it or you learn it by being interested. Stick around and learn some stuff.

If you find wild specimens grow kits can be almost free!
If you don't have one yet, get a book about that specializes in the mushrooms you're after. Try to find one that includes a lot of info about look alikes of other species. IMHE it's just as important to know about what you DON'T want.
A tip... You're much more likely to spot habitat than shrooms. Picking and asking is fine but mushrooms are easy to find and none of them will be what you're after if you're not looking in the right places. I know you know about wood chips because you mentioned them in another thread. A lot of wood chips look similar and it seems that very few are the "right" ones. more than a little bark chunks in the chips is a bad sign. look into the details of known habitats and you'll do better. Well, maybe not this year. It's late in the season. All the stuff I'm finding is sparse, rotten, bug mowed and spored out. And you're north of me. On the up side you can more casually learn about and seek out places to look next year. You should have dozens of places to check by then.
Sorry for being a hard ass.
