Is this an OG Godzilla?

[nuvocube]

There is a vendor on here that is saying these are OG godzillas. I disagreed, but was assured with confidence. Looks like a wild knockoff with similar colors. Can some of the experts chime in?

From the photo alone, I’d be hesitant to call that an OG Godzilla with any certainty. The color is in the ballpark, but lineage matters a lot with named mushrooms, and this one looks more like a similar wild piece or close lookalike to me.

I 100% agree. It’s a shame to see a vendor potentially taking advantage of unsuspecting hobbyists. Could one of the mods clarify whether I’m allowed to name the vendor so they can chime in? I’ve been scammed on here a couple of times myself, so seeing this kind of thing doesn’t sit right with me.
