Found in a garden in Germany. Has gills. Here are some more angles.

When in doubt, it's edible, with a chance of only once.

Kidding aside, I'm curious as well.

Need a picture of the gills

Just uploaded a pic of the gills.

I went out again to get a specimen and kids are asleep now. So the gills are under a brownish veil

Here is a picture of the gills

I am trying to make a spore print now. But it’s my first time. I guess they are going to be a rusty brown.

Based on the new pics it could be Gymnopilus. But I am no expert.

Oh that could be it! Nice!

Yup! Poisonous though. I’m not saying to try them but I’m not not saying to try them. They are called “laughing gym” for a reason.

This mushroom is known to induce uncontrollable laughter and unconventional behavior when ingested.

But also depends on other factors lol source: mushroom appreciation

Here you can see some hints of a spore print. I guess I have to read up some more on doing that.

If you could capture a spore print, it would be helpful for identification.

Yes picture of gills please, and a spore print. What is it growing on, is there a tree stump under there?
