This business of sharing photos has evolved too rapidly for me to keep up. The above links are from Photobucket, and they're supposed to be photos of a mushroom that spontaneously appeared in my garden at my apartment. I'm just hoping that you mycologists can see the pix and can identify the mushroom. If you can, I'd be most grateful to know what type of mushroom it is (and whether I can eat it, or whether it'll kill me). Gosh, I hope the pix show up here on the Gardenweb. if not, please email me at:

bwr149@hotmail.com

and I'll send you the pix via email

Hopefully someone can identify this variety.

Many thanks in advance,

Oh for crying out loud. Did this get posted to the wrong forum? If so, my apologies. This was supposed to go to the mushroom forum on Gardenweb. Looks like it might have accidentally gone to the fern forum. Rats. Not sure how that happened. I'll try to repost.

I am glad you wandered over here Audric because I know you were not too sure about my reference to romanticism and John Ruskin on your other thread. You will be asked, as a landscape architect, to fill the space between house and street as if it were filling shelves at Wallmart "cheap and cheerful". Miss Rumphius offers an alternative. Oh! for sure Jo and Joleine as IB would call them, are not going to have a twinky bridge in their yard any day soon but what does Miss Susan's garden say about the possibilities Audric?

My first inclination is that you're looking a fruit of larger plant instead of a plant itself. The cross section is something I don't recognize, but it definitely looks like the center is a seed loving it's place inside a protective fruit shell.

Inoculating, or seeding, your compost with the spores of fungi is a very good thing. Fungi are an important part of the soil food web.

They sound very interesting but so far nothing like anything I'm familiar with off the cuff...if only GardenWeb would fix the 'Mushroom' forum so that it doesn't display 'ferns & mosses' people might have a better chance at your mystery mushroom.... Only need to post pic of the cap, gills, & stalk (no need to post 100 pics or anything); otherwise a description of spore print color and habitat (soil, mulch, trees nearby etc) Sounds like you know the drill. HTH and look forward to hearing back
