this was in our news and i would like to know if this is poisonous or not. is this really pleurotus here is the link to news... http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/stor...giant-mushroom-sa-agusan-puwede-kayang-kainin
Wow! I can't tell if this mushroom has gills on its underside or not. Gills would make it look like a huge Pleurotus but it could also be many other things. I'm sure your local mycology/mushroom club or Botany department of nearest University would have more information on this particular find. If it has no gills I was thinking it looks also like a huge Albatrellus: I've found really big ones before here, but admittedly not that big :-). Amazing things this planet produces! Thanks for sharing that. cheers, frog
