It’s a mushroom.
Yup.
Mushroom.
Pretty big one, too. Looks kinda like a button mushroom, at least in color.
I wouldn’t eat it though. We’ve got a lot of poisonous mushrooms in North America, including some that look a lot like perfectly edible mushrooms from other parts of the world. Apparently there’s a real problem with tourists from Asia seeing those mushrooms and eating them, thinking it’s a safe Cloud Ear or Shiitake, and getting poisoned. I was taught to never eat a mushroom without knowing exactly what it is, and so are most people on this continent.
I don’t know exactly what this mushroom is.
I do know it’s a mushroom, though.
Yup.
Mushroom.
