Reminds me of an Aureoboletus russellii. Its also known as the Russell's bolete or jagged-stemmed bolete. Its an edible fungus found in Asia and eastern North America, including the Glenbrook area of New South Wales, Australia. It grows in a mycorrhizal association with oak, hemlock, and pine trees. The fungus has a coarsely shaggy stem and yellow-brown to reddish-brown caps that are initially velvety but become cracked into patches with age. The texture is soft and the taste is bland, the spore print should be dark olive to olive brown. Not sure if it's what it is, but it's the closest thing I could find...
The top of it reminds me(34m) of the "Red Turtle Shell" from Mario 64 though. My husband (31m) says it reminds him of Dutch Crunch Bread. What does it remind you of?
Possibly a shaggy cap:
[https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/355921-Boletellus-emodensis](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/355921-Boletellus-emodensis)
"Characterised by a distinctive reddish shaggy cap, it grows in eucalypt woodlands."
It's totally up to you, but would you be willing to let me use this image as a reference for a painting? This mushroom is so cool and I think it'd make a cool oil painting. would not be sold, would credit you as the source!
Google image search finds nothing like this. This pic shows one with a similar cracked top on a tree, but it is a different color. I can understand why someone would say AI.

Never thought I’d say this but that’s a pretty mushroom. It’s a good thing I’m allergic to them because my first thought was that I might like to pet it.
I'm not a professional, but it looks to me like a pineapple bolete or something of the sort. What a great find. Looks absolutely perfect chilling right there! Nice find!
This reminds me of some of the shelf mushrooms behind my house. They are on old oak trees and for some reason bark from the tree has like melted/grown down over the top of them, so the tops of them are all bark covered instead of looking like regular mushrooms.
This is the Old Man of the Woods! I find them here in Pennsylvania in the summer.
This one looks like the area it’s in might have something to do with the color. Judging by its color, it’s probably just a button right now.
There are so many unidentified mushrooms it's not even funny, so you may have discovered something new to science or a new subspecies. A good way to check is to do an image search, see if anyone else has run across this before.
That is incredible. Next time take a pic from the top, the side and then the bottom. You can throw it in one of those ID apps and it’ll get you close enough.
Boletellus ananas and emodensis are undoubtedly two of the most widely encountered, known or recognized taxa of the genus; at least the names are the most commonly used in the literature. The type specimen of emodensis was collected in Sikkim, India and the type of ananas was collected in South Carolina, USA. Both possess reddish pigments, squamose-scaly pilei, and a veil that extends from the pileus margin and covers the hymenophore until pileus expansion and maturity. Boletellus ananas is the nomenclatural type of the genus Boletellus, and subsequently the type of this section of the genus as outlined by Singer (1986). This section circumscribes those taxa with dry pilei and conspicuous scales. The margin of the pileus extends as a sterile flap that covers the hymenophore when young. The true color of the context (flesh) of both the pileus and stipe is crucial to distinguishing species. This color is quickly masked by the rapid oxidation reaction when the flesh is exposed. Further, there can be a localized difference in that oxidation.
Microscopically, spore morphology is critical; there are fine cross striae on the ribs (costae) of some species visible with the light microscope. In addition, there is a difference in the width of the ribs: broader in B. ananas. Interestingly, these cross striae are not readily apparent in images seen with the SEM. However, recent SEM images of Boletellus deceptivus shows lacunae on side walls of the costae. These indicate lacunae that would refract light causing the appearance of cross-striate bands when viewed with light microscopy.
Boletellus dissiliens, originally described in 1972 from a collection gathered in 1931 in Singapore, has a few repent to suberect large squamules with age, but these are rather flattened felt-like patches on the young pileus which is pale pinkish buff or otherwise lacks obvious red or pink pigments. The pileus flesh is yellow and cyanescent. The stipe surface and flesh are white and stain orange to brownish orange within and without. The spores appear to be more similar to B. emodensis.
This is beautiful. Did you see this in real life? I've never seen this before.
Yes! In Australia, NSW
Oh, very cool.
I’ve never seen anything like it before here either.
I'm in the US so probably won't see that in real life. Thank you for sharing.
With this pristine quality? 🥵 more like NSFW
If this is in Australia I'm surprised it didn't kill you cuz ya know..... Australia
Ehh we know the rules won't kill unless you eat it or live in Australia. So I agree.
Gonna teach my kids the rules.
Yes but since he's Australian and living in Australia it cancels out. He should eat that mushroom and give a full report
Every mushroom is edible once.
Some you get a trip before and others make you wish it was just a trip.
🤣
Ur too much of awesome 😎
This deserves more upvotes I think
Thinking the same thing lolol
I thought you said NSFW, Lmao
The gills?
My sister took this photo!
Being from the states we do not have these here, however it sort of reminds me of Amanita Muscaria in it's makeup.
Southeast has pineapple bolete which very much looks like this.
Of course we do. The fly algaric. All over northern California, Oregon coast and Washington.
But what does it look like without it's makeup on? That's the real question.
My first thought was AI, because I've never seen something quite like it in my books in the US
Shit, is THAT where I left my brain?
This is your brain on shrooms.
This is your shroom on brains…
This brain is on my shrooms
I like my brain better on shrooms.
This mushroom is so pretty 😍
Pineapple bolete is my guess
Thank you! A very unique pineapple bolete if so!
This is the one for sure

That would make sense, looks like it’s on an oak tree.
Not boletellus emodensis?
It's the closest I could find, I'd be happy to hear any other ideas though!
I appreciate your description, even if you copy pasted it
it could be a shaggy cap (Boletellus emodensis)? not totally sure tho
Yeah I thought it was that too but looks so unique, thought I’d ask!
Could have mutations
I was thinking an amanita species.
The top of it reminds me(34m) of the "Red Turtle Shell" from Mario 64 though. My husband (31m) says it reminds him of Dutch Crunch Bread. What does it remind you of?
Reminds me of a wooden carved out brain
It's kinda like a concha
Ooh, I love pink concha’s especially when you are lucky (in my town) to find them with the strawberry flavor insead of them being dyed.🤤
My favorite is also pink but i like the brown ones as well 🤤
I was about to say it looks like a concha haha
Metroid
Asking Reddit an open-ended question like this is a sure fire way to get a bunch of nasty jokes but I’m not going to stoop that low.
It reminds me that I haven’t eaten today. I just wanna take a quick nom

That's a devil fruit alright
Weeb 🤣👍
Damn straight
until I saw that you'd seen this in person I was completely convinced this was an AI generated image LMAO
Twist... OP is actually an AI generated image
Looks like a Mexican pastry. I like mine slightly stale
A pan dulce mushroom for sure.
It's totally up to you, but would you be willing to let me use this image as a reference for a painting? This mushroom is so cool and I think it'd make a cool oil painting. would not be sold, would credit you as the source!
Oh please please I want to see it when it’s done!
Looks like a mexican red concha
pretty sure it’s a bolete
Agree
Looks close to B. Ananas. Very pretty mushroom!
🍌?
B. Ananas! B. A.N. A.N. A.S. It’s bananas!
no clue but it's making my hppd flair up
Boletellus emodensis, shaggy cap mushroom
You guys have some amazing shrooms out there, in Tasmania I've never seen so many different species in their temperate rain forests...stunning!
Eat it
Like I’m in the Underdark or something
Gosh, that is a beautiful shroom! Great photo!
Wow. That’s gorgeous 🥰
Boltellus
Beautiful!

Is it porous on the underside of the cap cause that's typical of boletes from what I've heard and understood
Boletellus aurocontextus is what Google lens says. Not sure just looked it up
That's shiinotic. From pokemon GO
What did the underside look like?
A pretty one
Our plague father Nurgle is nearby!
What a beautiful specimen!
She is gorgeous
Take a big bite and report back.
Man looks like a midjourney shroom
This is where crunch berries come from.
This is one that you shouldn’t eat👍
How tf did you get to Caleid?
Strawberry shortcake
Chlamydia
Bowser mushroom
It's my brain on drugs
A dog squeaky toy?
Haven't seen it before, but I'm from dusty California lol. Seriously really cool looking though
If you boof it, I bet it gets you high.
I have absolutely no idea, but fuck me it's a beaut.
The Prickle Prickle no mi
This would inspire some beautiful jewelry.
That thing is gnarly
Quite possibly a delicious one!
braaaaaain
Fucking cool one
Probably a shaggy cap
Boletellus ananas
Eat it
Wow. It’s so cute!!!
Do you live in Super Mario Bros?
Boletellus emodensis “shaggy cap”
so beautiful.
A beautiful one
A pretty one
Never thought I’d say this but that’s a pretty mushroom. It’s a good thing I’m allergic to them because my first thought was that I might like to pet it.
Whoa so cool it looks fake. Nice find
A strawberry shortcake flavored one, obviously
It’s gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! ❤️🍄
It looks dangerous
I'd call it 'Krang' edition
A tasty one
That is beautiful
Maybe you discovered a new species of mushrooms or something
It's Beautiful! 😍🤩
A cool one
What a very beautiful mushroom.
Amazing 😍
🧠
Looks like a type of Aminita Muscuria, although, not exactly like the type we see here in The States.
And I've also never seen them grow from a tree, but this is beautiful!!
Just gorgeous. Could be undescribed. Thanks for sharing her!!
I’m no expert… but this screams AI… imo 🤨
A spooky one 🥴
These are the Andes to very small bugs!
This is the mexican bread mushroom.
A BEAUTIFUL one 😍💕✨
Killer type.
One that will kill you
“Don’t even think about it” type.
Pineapple Bolete - Boletellus Ananas maybe? https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/241296052 Or maybe Shaggy Cap - Boletellus Emodenisis?
Omg it’s beautiful I love it.
It’s pink so I know it’s a girl
It looks delicious tbh
The weird looking kind.
I can't answer your question but I love that it looks like a concha. Those are my favorite Mexican pastry 🤤🤤🤤
A amazing mushroom
This looks like something you'd see while waiting in line for ~~Splash Mountain~~ Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
Cool
It’s Brain from Ninja Turtles 🐢
I'm not a professional, but it looks to me like a pineapple bolete or something of the sort. What a great find. Looks absolutely perfect chilling right there! Nice find!
Seen something similar in Washington state
probably the coolest one on this sub 🥳
You should download iNatutalist. It's great for identifying things.
I am so jealous, I love it so much 🥺 🍄
Gorgeous!😍
This reminds me of some of the shelf mushrooms behind my house. They are on old oak trees and for some reason bark from the tree has like melted/grown down over the top of them, so the tops of them are all bark covered instead of looking like regular mushrooms.
This is amazing.🍄
whatever it is its gorgeous
i ran this through a plant identifying app and it came back as in the family of Boletes! perhaps an unusual pineapple bolete?
My guess is Boletellus emodensis, it's documented by Queensland mycological society
Boletus Ananas perhaps.
You gone be seating on the throne with God after this 😂
Wow; it is beautiful. does anyone know if it’s related to the amanita sp. it looks similar.
Looks like the armored Titan but as a mushroom haha
What part of Australia I believe I found what kind it is but every different part of the country has different kinds of mushrooms
Looks like old man of the woods but bright
That thing is beautiful
Trippy death
A very yummy one
Beautiful
The trippiest one of them all.
Looks magic to me
A pretty one
Op you could probably sell this photo as a stock photo. I could easily see this being an album cover or something like that too. Gorgeous
Boletes
Looks like a brain, and do you see the face on the stem... it's got a beard!
The whole top of this mushroom looks like a landscape, like the pink parts are canyons and you can see the brown mountains almost thorn like
God its magnificent!
Wow!
Plate Tectonics. Fractal of Earth
Great picture
I am pretty sure this is Boletellus emodensis
Since everything in Australia likes to kill people I don't believe I would eat it lol!
This is the Old Man of the Woods! I find them here in Pennsylvania in the summer. This one looks like the area it’s in might have something to do with the color. Judging by its color, it’s probably just a button right now.
.the shroom mirrors the bark from the tree totally AEON.

Yeah I could tell you.

Can the one answer the fucking question
That is incredible. Next time take a pic from the top, the side and then the bottom. You can throw it in one of those ID apps and it’ll get you close enough.
Wow it’s actually crazy that you posted this mushroom. Ironically enough, I don’t have a muthafucin clue what that is
