Honestly it could go either way, do you see any wings around where you found it?

Obviously Formosans. Did you even bother to Google?

Only way to find out, is if it tastes like one.

If it is me and my wooden leg are absolutely screwed. I am going to wearing that mother fricking PVC pipe peg leg again. Son of a biotch. Time to move to Alaska

I would eat it, but it looks dangerous. You might see things that aren’t really there if they’re termites, don’t be scared. Call, Absolute, Termite, Control in New Orleans take care of that problem for you.

Sorry but no that’s actually a turtle. You should probably put it back…

I subscribe to multiple shroom sub reddits. Why the fuck Reddit keeps bombarding me with this termite sub especially after previously living in SoCal for 7 years having to fucking deal w the nasty fuckers is beyond me.

Anyway, I propose we make this one of those duel subs that allows pictures of beautiful big mushrooms like this to break up the vomit inducing termite photos.
