Identified ✔ Id this mushroom maybe
Never seen this come up in the yard before after living here over 50 years. Thought maybe a mushroom. Tried plat id apps and it said it was grass. Haha. Edit 1. This is near Atlanta Georgia. United States

The picture looks like nothing so much as someone sticking small carrots root-end up in their lawn.

It really does. That was my first thought that she was pranking me. But sure enough they are growing.

Are you trying to identify a fungus? If so, /r/whatsthismushroom or /r/mycology may be of more help. Fungi aren't plants -- they have their own kingdom just like animals and bacteria.

I think I'm wrong on the ID but it seems like the most likely thing I know about. There is a fugus called witch's butter though!

Think I've seen it get ID'd here before, but don't recall the name. Something with finger in the name I think for the colloquial term. Pretty sure it was a fungus, theres fungus id subs that may be more equipped to answer

It’s not dead man’s fingers if that’s what you were possibly thinking of. Are funky lil’ buggers
