• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I don't believe in "reality"

The only truthful people are people who speculate the truth.
Let your guard down for a instant and even your closest friends can cast shadows.

I use certain sayings, which are proven to be useful in the quest for the truth.
Without application of wisdom you'r only hearing what you want to hear.
 
no correlation

But I did keep a eye on them and they nearly took over my back yard now. It's not sap, in the one, it's just rain water that gets trapped in there and then gets pushed back out as the thing grows. It also makes them turn blackened so thats why some of the white puffer mushrooms are black because they start out white then they turn black when the rain and dirt get trapped in them.

I found these in my backyard yesterday. I can't find anything on the internet that shows shrooms producing sap...

That last image almost looks like a Lions Mane.

Are there any coniferous trees (*eg: pines, firs, junipers, hemlocks, etc) nearby where you found these?

And did you happen to notice the soil conditions? Bone dry or perhaps waterlogged?

Coz, (apart from the last image) they look pretty similar to Bleeding Tooth fungi, and if so, the reddish jizz they're secreting would probably be due to osmosis from the root system being in waterlogged conditions.

If these are Bleeding Tooth fungi, then they wouldn't be poisonous. Although ya prolly won't wanna go eatin' 'em coz they're extremely bitter.
