Hi, I found these growing in the ground near the bases of some tall skinny trees (I don't know what kinds) in a park. I have no idea what they are, and I was hoping you guys could tell me if they appear to be anything edible, active, or poisonous.



I haven't made any spore prints yet. Does anything here look like it would be worth looking into further?

Interesting bolete to be bleeding red like that at the bottom, to answer your question about looking into any, those aren't active, and probably aren't worth eating if they are edible. Cool find though.

Sorry, I forgot one. This isn't anything, is it?

It was near the others, but it looks a little different. Sorry for the weird lighting. One of the windows in the room is green.

Another Russula. Nothing of interest to you.

I found some more. Do any of these look like anything useful?

Maybe you should do some more research instead of picking random mushrooms and have us do the work for you.
Nothing active in that pic.

Sorry. I'm new at this. I tried to do research, but there are hundreds of similar looking pictures. The little skinny one with the pointy cap looks (to me) just like some of the stuff in pictures of things that are supposed to be active. I thought maybe I had something. Sorry for wasting your time. I'll stop posting.
My whole fucking life is dead ends. Figures this would be too.

Nooo, didn't mean to discourage you! I feel that maybe I was a bit harsh.
Look up Psilocybe Cubensis, a common mushroom in your area.
Also read up on taking spore prints, it will help you narrow down any possibilities.
