@Reefer1978 any idea on this one?

Green Hairy Mushroom Rhodactis indosinensis would be my guess.

Green Hairy Mushroom Rhodactis indosinensis would be my guess.

Do they get 18 cm across? I have normal rhodactis indonises but they are more darker green. This one is almost yellow...

I've had 5, 6" rhodactis, and I've heard of some getting them to 7" (18cm) so it's not unheard of. For me, 6" seems to be the max and then they split. I don't see the yellow in the pics, looks green to me, but could be the light / camera.

It also doenst shrink at night like the indo ones. Heres a pic from now

 

[Reefer1978]

There's no change in size what so ever?

 

[Nadine1]

 

[Nadine1]

[Reefer1978]

Not much

Good lord it’s almost a reverse Minecraft @LRT .

Beautiful piece you don’t see that size very often. Just saw it I’ll do a little digging

 

[vetteguy53081]

Looks like either a giant frilly tonga mushroom or carpet mushroom

 

[Nadine1]

I put in an indonesian rhodacthis so you can see the color and size difference

 

[TriggerFinger]

Wow, that’s a big mushroom! I have some of the common frilly ones and this one puts those to shame!

 

[Reefer1978]

Not every green indonesian rhodacthis is the same identical green indonesian rhodacthis. Here's mine.

I think you might be right. If i google Rhodactis osculifera some look alike

Seeing the structure on the cap my guess would have been st tomas as well. Its a beauty for sure. My minecraft was pushing 5" with no signs of slowing down before I tried to cut it. That things a monster.
