This was fun to take.
Perspective is everything.
Oh hello! I love it when you can see the gills. Sometimes one has to crawl on belly to get a good shot. XD

Guessing the name isn't as obvious as it looks.
Tbh it does look like Phallus impudicus aka common stinkhorn (or at least one of Phallales sp.). A lot of mushrooms have their "phallic stage", but this guy's stipe has that pore-like texture that tells me it's a phallus indeed.
OK, these ones are super interesting but I must admit I've never seen one myself and I am not able to identify them.
White spindle fungus (clavaria fragilis) grows in grass and has a long, wormy shape but, even though the top can sometimes be darker, the shape is different.
Some coprinus species (e.g. coprinus auricomus) can look a bit similar when young but their stems are not this long, as far as I know, so scratch that.
Ideas, anyone?
EDIT: Thanks to @fon-master-ion , we now know it’s Conocybe deliquescens.
Can you devine the identity of this cutie?
It could be an Inocybe sp. (aka fibercap), I can see the fiber on its cap. Inocybe sp. color varies from white to different dark hues, and a lot of them have these darker spots on the bump of their cap. (A few lepiota mushrooms (e.g. lepiota cristata) also have this spot, but they're scaly and also have a ring on their stem, so scratch that.)
Oh hey, thanks for sharing!
As far as I can tell, it's Xerocomus sp. (Xerocomus subtomentosus (aka boletus subtomentosus), probably? If its cap is darker irl, could be xerocomus badius, too.) Sometimes old, overgrown and dried suillus mushrooms can look very similar, too, but the pores really do look like the ones of xerocomus sp.
You take submissions? I saw some interesting fungus today and snapped a photo of it.
I don't have submissions enabled, no. BUT you can just send me anything you want to share via asks and I'll post it that way. :)
