What type of mushrooms are these? Illegal?

Question

I have mushrooms growing in my yard out of a dead log and need to know the species. Pictures at the link below. They look white in the pics, but really they are more orange, especially the older ones.

Will I go to jail if they are magic shrooms and should I throw them away?

Answer 1

No, they aren't.

Answer 2

Those mushrooms are most common on dead trees or logs. I'd just remove them.

Answer 3

Look, fungi growing on a dead log in your yard- whether or not they are deadly toxic, hallucinogenic, or wonderfully delicious- are not going to be a problem.  I can't think of anyone ever having been arrested because a paranoid neighbor saw a toadstool in someone else's ylawn.

And, while I am not a mycologist (fungi are not plants), I don't think they look very much like Aminita.  At the same time, don't try to eat them.

Answer 4

Dude those mushrooms are much better for making soup than getting high.  Sorry, not magic shrooms.
