Hi 24lisysyank! Welcome to Project Noah and great first spotting! I invite you to check out our FAQs to learn more about the site here: https://www.projectnoah.org/faq As for your spotting, many mushrooms require a shot of the gills and potentially other information to successfully identify. Older specimens like this are also a bit of a challenge. If you are interested in mushroom identification, I would encourage you to check out this page written by a mycologist with a great mushroom identification website: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/studying.html
