Unknown species, maybe 1.5"-2" tall. The most similar species with a potential nearby distribution is Porpolomopsis lewelliniae, but these were quite a bit smaller than any images I could find of that species. These were growing off moss in a partly shaded area of coastal Sitka Spruce forest. The last two images came out really intense.

Again, best guess at fungus ID! I didn't get a spore print or break it open.

Bro there's like
One mushroom called the "Angel Wing" mushroom 👊👊👊 they're like grown in the Northern Hemisphere in the forests and shit
And also they're known to be poisonous
They look similar to Oyster Mushrooms 👊👊👊 which are edible and they get mistaken with eachother
Their class is Agaricomycetes and some other shit
Their scientific name is Pleurocybella porrigens but who the fuck
They also reproduce asexually by fragmentation 👊👊👊
I actually did an assignment on this 🥺🥺🥺

Unknown Agaricomycetes, 3mm-5mm tall, growing off decaying Sitka needles.
The slight aberrations on the stalks are from the long antenae and limbs of two small mites moving around the stalks while photographing the mushrooms.

Mushrooms grown by Brock Lee on Facebook
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۞۩๑.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. Toadstool generally denotes one poisonous to humans.[1]
The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface.
Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their order Agaricales. By extension, the term "mushroom" can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself.
