Hello Sandra,

As a matter of policy, Extension Master Gardeners should not answer questions outside their areas of expertise or training. This includes not answering questions concerning human health (such as lice, crabs, and other pests), commercial horticulture, hazardous tree evaluation, medical or legal questions, or whether a questionable plant or mushroom is edible, as well as mushroom identification.

Please refer to the MSUE article: Identifying wild Michigan mushrooms that are safe to eat at this link

Bottom line, a mycologist should identify mushrooms.

I hope this helps!
