As far as variety goes, you probably won’t find a larger category of mushrooms than LBMs or Little Brown Mushrooms as they are known.
Not all LBMs fall under types of poisonous mushrooms, but because of the difficulty in identifying LBMs it is probably best for you to do so.
They are very hard to identify by only appearance and unless you are an expert in identifying them it is advisable to just stay away from them completely. To truly identify all LBMs that you come across requires microscopic analysis.
LBMs range from very small to medium in size. Their spore prints come in all colors and they grow just about everywhere. They grow on trees, on soil and appear practically anywhere as well: you can find them in forests, pasture fields or even on your lawn during the spring, summer and fall seasons.
What more could be said? This group is a hard bunch to completely understand and even the experts cannot identify them all. Instead, avoid them all and just grow your own mushrooms.
Because there are poisonous and non-poisonous variants of all shapes and sizes, with spore prints that have more colors than the rainbow it is just not advisable to try your luck on these guys.
