| I'm trying to ID a mushroom growing in some hemlock mulch in Wisconsin. I have a picture of the specimen, but not sure how to post it here. Can anyone recommend a good online reference source that has pics I can refer to?
Thanks in advance,

| Thanks! I should've thought of that myself... I broke one open to show the inside. The mushrooms pictured seem to be fully matured and about 2 weeks old. They seem to grow in clusters of 3. I don't want to eat them, but they do look tasty! Mike - TurningColorz |

| Those are good looking! Not sure if this will help you, but give this id key a try. Here is another site. |

| Thanks! I think I found it, 'Lycoperdon pyriforme' apparently known as a common Puffball. They say it's edible, but the hemlock mulch it's growing in makes me think twice. Anyway, thanks for the links! Mike - TurningColorz |

| That sure does look like it. I wouldn't eat them either. |
