Renee Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Not that I am pretending to know, but I think this is what it is - however i know to be careful about consuming them due to the mushroom they have attached to. How do I know if the Lobster mushroom is safe to eat or not? the bottom mushrooms, and the next ‘clip’ i post were found close by....

vitog Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 That is definitely a Lobster Mushroom. Its host is usually Russula brevipes, a large, white, short-stemmed mushroom. The two Russulas that you photographed are probably not the host; there's a green Hypomyces that I often see parasitizing some of these smaller Russulas. It's normally pretty safe to eat Lobster Mushrooms, but you should start with a small amount to make sure that you are not allergic to them.
