Last seen Nov 3, 2019 (about 7 years ago) near Belleplain, Cape May County, NJ, a field observation from Fungi of parks, forests and reserves of New Jersey (2007-2019). Most US records come from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, and the busiest months are Oct, Aug and Jul. (Data as of October 26, 2026; records can lag by weeks.)

⚠ Never eat a wild mushroom based on this site. We show where fungi have been recorded, nothing more. We never say any mushroom is edible or safe, and you shouldn't decide that from any website, app or photo. Many deadly mushrooms look like harmless ones. If someone may have eaten a wild mushroom, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 right away.
Lookalike warning. Many mushrooms, including deadly ones, closely resemble each other, and the only reliable identification comes from an expert looking at the actual specimen (often with spore prints or microscopy). Never use a name, photo or record count on this page to decide what something is.
