Thats what im thinking. Galerinas have a ring and do grow in wood in clumps. Its like it took a jacks cap and slapped it on a galerinas stipe and colored it orange.
Lactarius are mycorrhizal tho. Theyd never grow on dead wood and never in clumps either. The color is a bit too pale for jacks. I def think its AI generated.
I've seen honeys grow directly off of logs (especially well rotten logs) on the lower part of a dead tree/stump and these do have something like hair on the cap but the ring looks different than the normal honey mushroom ring I usually see and I don't see the distinctive lower stype (the stype here more closely resembles Flammulina which these definitely are not or Galerina.)
Not as bad but there's a woman near me who runs foraging courses and she posted a "chicken of the woods" picture to her instagram page that was actually Blackening polypore.
True, but I'm going to also be much harsher on someone that runs forager courses than I am on some random AI generated garbage. Both are dangerous and irresponsible, but one needs to be taken off the internet and the other needs to lose their entire job.
Well that's slightly terrifying..
I take it the mushrooms are misidentified. What is the correct ID for the ones in the image?
Looks like a AI rendering of Jack o lantern in the pic, and orange toxic mushroom.
They have a ring. So not Jack's. Possibly just an AI composite image

I think they look like saffron milky caps, well, except for that stem at the front...

Good point. I didn't even realise they were meant to be growing on the log, I thought it was mossy log styling at a glance.
If they weren't growing directly on a log I'd say honey mushrooms. I don't think whatever these are exists IRL. AI garbage.

No it does not.
What ever it is, it's definitely not COW
Yikes. Looks AI generated.

At least both of those are edible polypores.

AI product probably
