What is this thing in my yard?!

Mushrooms are identified for amateurs by using "keys" which are lists of characteristics that allow you to eliminate family and genus one by one until you know what you have. Keys describe season, substrate, shape, color, spore color etc.

I have collected many books of keys but really like this website for accuracy.

Honest the common north american edibles are pretty easy to learn. Chances are some grow in your own yard.

Morels and shaggy manes have no real look alikes and only Amanita poses any serious risk.
