In order to identify the mushroom you must do the following or throw it out!
It is important to describe your mushrooms as accurately as possible.
Along with the pictures you should try to provide the following:
* Habitat What kind of trees were nearby? What was it growing from?
* Location Where in the world was it?
* Gills What do they look like? Always try to take photos that show the gills of both young and mature mushrooms.
* Stem Carefully dig it out of the ground so you can get a picture of the whole thing.
* Spore print color (if you have time)
- Make a spore print by cutting the cap from the stem and placing a cap on a sheet of aluminum foil. A light dusting of spores should drop in an hour or two. It is preferable to let the mushroom sit and release spores for up to 24 hours in order to leave a good thick print
* Scent of the mushroom.
* Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged.
* Anything else you might find important
