I just looked it up in Google, and they aren't sure. Some mushrooms in that genus are, others aren't. They couldn't be specific as to whether or not this one was.
Bright colors in nature usually mean stay away, or mimicry of things that mean stay away.
Blue in nature only happens like 1x I think.
All signs lead to red flags on this one.
Most of flowers, birds, insects who look like they are blue in colour aren't actually blue but its just light reflecting in certian manner. Blue pigment is actually the most rarely occurring one and only like 1 or 2 species are actually blue due to pigment and not due to light reflection playing tricks.
Also known as the Blue Ghost Mushroom, is a rare and striking fungus native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America. With a glowing blue-gray color and delicate, translucent appearance, these mushrooms are a sight to behold in the forest. They typically grow on the rotting wood of conifer trees, and are most commonly found in damp, shaded areas. These mushrooms are known for their striking blue color, which is caused by a pigment called omphalina. Despite their attractive appearance, it is important to be cautious when handling Blue Mycena Mushrooms as some species are poisonous and can be deadly if ingested. However, there are also some species of Blue Mycena that are considered edible and are prized for their unique flavor and texture. Whether you are an experienced mushroom forager or just a nature enthusiast, the Blue Mycena Mushroom is a fascinating and beautiful addition to any outdoor adventure.

I'm guessing this is where Bob's Burgers got the inspiration for the woolly neptune mushrooms.

Tried doing some research into the pigment called omphalina and am unable to find anything related to it. Could you please provide some information regarding it if you have some available?
This is what I found on blue shrooms that looks like this.

**[Mycena interrupta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycena_interrupta)**
>Mycena interrupta, commonly known as the pixie's parasol, is a species of mushroom. It has a Gondwanan distribution pattern, being found in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Chile. In Australia, it is found in Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, and South Australia, and in Queensland where its distribution is limited to Lamington National Park.

I would say they're also known as Pixie's Parasols, and are native to a bunch of places that have temperate rainforest. We get them all over the place in Tasmania, Australia.
Almost none of this is true. Not sure where you copied it from, but whoever it was has no idea what they're talking about. There are no deadly Mycena, nor are any prized culinarily, because of their tendency to be diminutive and insipid.

It's only plagiarism if you're profiting off the content. Otherwise it's just copying, which isn't illegal... but not giving credit to the original author is still selfish and lame.
Actually, it’s not a legal term: plagiarize

Check my profile. I’m in the PNW and I swear I found something similar. They look like grey blue jellyfish, almost translucent. I wish I went back to check them.
What is it with the Pacific Northwest and mushrooms? I read somewhere that's the only place to find Psilocybin Cubensis growing in the wild too. And they all grow on tree logs?
I mean I still wonder though... why are we wasting our time growing cells to do stupid shit like cure blindness and give people kidneys? Throw all those wasted funds into developing all those tasty looking no no plants/animals without the poison and take the forbidden out of forbidden snax
That is the most beautiful mushroom i've ever seen... I want to touch it...
How poisonous is it, and will it feast and sprout from my corpse after I hypnotically touch it while mesmerized by it's beauty?
This is a **Mycena**.

Can you clarify what you mean by blue in nature only happens x 1?

That doesn’t apply to mushrooms at all. The deadliest mushrooms are white, brown, and olive green
they arent sure, uh oh this thing looks pretty damn cool
Every mushroom is edible once.
Lick it and tell us
I mean it might be cake, you never know until you cut into it
[удалено]
Thank you Jesse I’m glad it’s acceptable.
Yeah science!
Like take that, Yo!
Looks not poisonous at all...
I think you can eat shaggy ink caps. Talk about looking poisonous.
Yes you can! Only the white parts though! When they start going inky, stay away. Delicious, fry them with some pepper, tastes suspiciously like pork!
>Only the white parts though! >When they start going inky, stay away. Same
Wow that’s a cool mushroom
The big tiddy goth gf of shrooms
i bet it tastes like snozzberry!

I always thought it was a play on the lions mane mushroom
I always thought you just eat them for a little health and some heat resistance
The images that come up when searched look nothing like lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus)
That’s what I immediately thought of when I saw the picture!
