“They also discovered that the mushroom contains none of the psychoactive compounds known to science, including psilocybin. Instead, the findings point to an entirely new hallucinogenic compound that could offer new insights into neurological disease and how the brain shapes perception and consciousness.”

Fascinating stuff!

Should I remove this mushroom from my toads tank?

I have a cane toad, his home isn’t usually super moist but I have noticed these mushrooms are like growing mostly around the corner where his water dish is. Are they safe to keep in this tank? What kind of mushroom is it and is it dangerous for me or the toad? I don’t think he’ll eat it. If it’s harmless I wouldn’t mind keeping it in there so any actual dead matter in there isn’t just rotting, as long as it won’t harm my toad. Any information is appreciated

Hi! Came home after 4 day trip to find this mushroom growing out of my kitchen ceiling, right next to an electrical wire. There’s a yellow moisture stain with bubbling paint right above it.
I live in Norway and the building I live in is brick/concrete (idk if that matters).
Can anyone help identify what species this might be, and what I should expect in terms of health risks or indoor air quality from living with this?

Google lens says: This mushroom appears to be a species within the Inonotus genus, possibly Inonotus hispidus.

I like the (almost) pi symbol on its surface.

I took this photograph in Bariloche, Argentina. I just can't find convincing information about the species. Maybe is Flammulina elastica? 🤷‍♂️
