from the thumbnail I thought this was a picture of a cigarette that had been stuffed into an old dried out orange

How dare you make fun of Mr. Fungus smoking a blunt.

Right? It looks weird. I wasn't even sure it was a mushroom until i trespassed on the old man's yard to find out

The weirdest part is you see how porous the gills look? Each one of those pore looking bits is an individual filament that seems to make up the "gills" on the underside. Im only used to portabello and shiitake mushrooms in the kitchen and the gills on those are very different

Boletes don’t have gills, just pores. But in an interesting evolutionary twist some boletes developed to have pore tissue shaped like gills. Anyway I have no idea what you found.

Sounds like some kinda bolete then

TIL mushrooms can be "don't eat me" colored on the inside

It oxidized and darkened before i got my gloves off to take a pic (i'm so mushroom paranoid i don't even want to touch it lol) but it was basically a color id describe as "yellowed cyanosis"

I certainly don't want to eat something that has the exact color and texture of old sofa padding

[-] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

It looked more like when you have a blue memory foam mattress pad but then it starts to yellow and turn "too much b vitamin" piss colored

Even if it wasn't lookin like that though im not eating a wild mushroom, you might have heard me say this before but i don't want to poop out my kidneys and liver

If anyone knows what kinda mushroom this is hit me with your mushroom facts

Bolete of some kind. Most likely non-poisonous, but even if it was an edible mushroom it looks a little past its prime.

I am bad with Boletes, but the cap looks too dark for boleteus cyanescens imo, but again, i suck ass at identifying boletes try r/mycology or r/mushroomid for more.

Also, country of origin may help. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :(

boleteus cyanescens

Most of the pics on google look different but this first pic on reddit is a very similar color, but the gills weren't that sorta yellow on mine and didn't stain like that without breaking it open

Some of the pics labeled cornflower bolete look kinda similar

I would never eat a wild mushroom but i did hold it over a flame and it smelled delicious not sure if that helps

Oh it's fine im just shitposting anyway, any mushroom facts are better than none

It's from southeastern U.S

Maybe it's a Hickory Bolete?
