Thank you, Seema! AntonioGinjaGinja! MayraSpringmann!
amazing
great begining Ligthworkerpeace,beautiful enigmatic mushroom ,congrats
Wow!!!
Note the mycelium in the second and third images - growing from hydrated rye berries in a mushroom grow bag. This particular species starts with a rather fast-covering white mycelium that turns yellow after all the rye berries have been colonized.
Thank you for the upliftment, tibiprada! A peaceful night/day to you!
magnanimously awesome !

Welcome to ProjectNoah. Seems like you dived in head first! And with an amazing spotting... All your comments are most appreciated.
wow!
Thank Mark, J, and Emma for the warmth.
Emma, I'm not sure which spotting of Pamsai you've mentioned. The link in your post is a tough one for me to ID. Let's try to key it out together using features you've brought back in the photo and hopefully a couple other tips!
lightworkerpeace,awesome first spot! Welcome to Project Noah!!
This is the same mushroom Pamsai spotted.

I am wondering if the picture of the gills would help in ID. I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph them.
Please give me your feedback!
Thanks in advance!
Cool spotting! Welcome to Project Noah!
What amazing looking fungi. I have just first heard about this 'Reishi' mushroom. Guess I've got yet more reading to do.
