de5packrats Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This was found in SW Washington, Pacific County. Looks like a petrified mushroom from reference books but have not come across this one in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Welcome to the forum. Yes, it most certainly does look like a mushroom but it is a suggestively shaped rock. Mushrooms, being so soft very rarely fossilise I’m afraid. 4 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I have to agree with @JohnBrewer on this.

abyssunder Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I totally agree with John, it's not a fossil mushroom, probably it might be a weathered limestone piece. I have seen 30-60 thousand years old permineralized tree fungus (black in color) from European sites, but it doesn't looks like that. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
