Fungi query

Hi there

 

We've recently noticed this fungi growing at the base of a tree on our front lawn. We were just wondering if this fungi was anything to be concerned about because if it is damaging and decaying the tree that poses danger to others on our street.

 

If someone could tell us if its something to worry about thatd be great and maybe what can be done to report or resolve the issue.

 

Thanks a lot!

I'm not an Arb so can't comment on the tree. For IDing the fungi it would help if you can take some clearer pictures of individual specimens; the cap, stem and gills. Also keep and eye on them and take some clear pictures of how they age.

 

They look a bit like Glistening Inkcaps, Coprinellus micaceus, or similar and there's some good pictures here that might help you:

The powdery ‘mica’ covering can be seen shining when the sun is out but this mushroom has no nutritional value so is best...
