Do we have any experts out there that can help with identification of this fungus (or know where we can help). Someone sent this request into our Facebook page. They have a puppy that is very interested in eating it. Much appreciated!
It looks like Ramaria or Clavulina the coral fungus groups. I don’t think they are toxic, but look them up to see if it looks like what they have. We do have a few amanita species around here so encouraging their pup to ‘leave it’’ is probably a good idea! I’m just starting to learn how important fungi are to our plants so having them in the garden is probably a good thing! I’m not an expert for sure, but it could be a start re ID.
Thank you so much! I have multiple mushroom ID books but am so hesitant to ID them positively due to potential toxicity I’ll pass on this info with lots of caveats … Much appreciated.
You could also ask the folks at Comox Valley Nature (https://comoxvalleynaturalist.bc.ca), they may have a fungus expert that can help you out.
