    Hi!
    My name is Julian and i am a student at SJS. My class is studying fungi. I found a fungi in my front yard, a mushroom! This is a picture of the mushroom that I found in my front yard. I am wondering if anyone knows any specific information on this mushroom. What its name is, how it reproduces, etc.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Julian,

    I'm very stoked to hear that your class is studying fungi! I don't actually recall fungi being mentioned at all when I was in school.

    The details needed to help with IDing are hard to see in these photos: Can you tell us a bit about what the upper and lower surfaces are like, what it was growing on/from, the colour/texture?

    It may be useful to look at this post:
