Our lives have become very easy with the introduction of Internet, especially if we have to clear any doubt or ask a query. Google, the largest search engine of the world, has answers to almost every question; however, it can help only if you know what you want to search for. If you are not sure what you are looking for, community platforms can come handy.
Reddit is also one such community platform where discussion on many topics takes place. These 15 people had no idea about what was in front of them, so they took to reddit and posted questions about those mysterious or unknown things and got the correct and satisfactory answers!

Someone posted this photo on reddit and asked if anybody knows about these fungi which are growing in their walking path only in this patch.
These are mushrooms which are not harmful, their white top will turn dark and then if touched, it will break. They are edible but very less people consume them because of which they are not at all known for their taste.
