I picked up this toadstool a while back labeled as a weeping willow…. It has taken it a while to get happy but now that it has a spot it likes it’s looking like I may have actually found one. This picture is with all flow turned off. What do y'all think? True willow or no?

It's gorgeous. True lineage is hard to nail down but it certainly looks extremely close.
I would be thrilled with how it turned out
 
Probably not. If you ever watched Jake Adams video with when he went over the weeping willow he had got ahold of and he goes through the whole spiel of what qualifies and the distinct characteristics they have and where they started from. I mean they’re pretty rare to get your hands on, but if you can find the video it’s worth a watch. I think it’s just one of the old Reef Builders videos titled true weeping willow? or something I don’t know I can’t remember. Either way it’s a beautiful stool.

I wish I could get you a definitive answer, but that is one gorgeous toadstool!
 



I couldn’t help myself I had to go back and find the video and rewatch. Anyway here’s that video
