The past few days it has been rainy, hot and very humid (like 76% humidity) which is as Mom says YUK YUK YUK! With all the rain we have been picking a bag FULL of toadstools out of our lawn every day - Mom is worried some doggy who isn't very bright (known as the Dweeb to you and me) might try eating them and we don't know if they are poisonous. Personally I would quite enjoy watching him taking a psychedelic mushroom trip :) They are kind of weird toadstools/mushrooms we have in the lawn as they come up looking like a golf ball and then suddenly pop open and are bright blue underneath!
Anyhoo - after doing the mushroom picking up Mom decided to take us to MY park while it was still cool and guess what we saw - yep more toadstools/mushrooms only these were the most amazing orange color!
Now personally I have no idea why Mom thinks these toadstool/mushroom thingies are interesting - especially when there is all the wonderful smells in the park and geese to chase.
Hey, we gots some of those also, only ours are all white. Our Dad picks them up before we sample them, You never know about them!

We get a type of SHROOOOOOM here called a PUFF BALL... it starts all white and when it gets really big and dry inside they have green/gray dust like stuffs inside... if you step on one... it will go PUFF and that is where it got the name... butt when small and fresh... they are actually good to eat.
ReplyDeleteOMD…. I've never see such colorful rooooooms. Da look amazing. We only gots the white ones and my Mom does the same thing. She says she is on rooooooooom patrol.

We are a mushroom free zone here but we'd probably get rid of them too just in case. Hope the humidity drops soon. Have a tremendous Thursday.

They are really pretty! I love unusual mushrooms, but I'm like your mom, picking them from the lawn, because I don't know which ones are ok to eat and which ones are poison.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some really pretty (and so probably of the psychedelic variety) toadstools! Neeto! ;-) When the rain starts at my house, we get tons and tons of mushrooms too! Then I get watched like a hawk every time I venture outside, boo!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. We had a VERY cold day yesterday and this morning is foggy. So don't think we'll find any mushrooms.

Those mushrooms look pretty bright! We've been getting the plain white toadstools out of nowhere too. I've been a little concerned about them being nibbled on by my guys too.
ReplyDeleteThose look like smurf villages. Must be an advertisement for the new smurfs movie in theaters. We think Gargamel is behind all of the mushrooms popping up everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOur big guy (aka grandpa who refuses to be called grandpa), believes our grammie is going to make him eat poisonous mushrooms . . . . we think you should avoid these just to be safe. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteYep, we have them here too. Mom says it is hard enough doing poop patrol for all of us and now she has to do mushroom patrol too. But best not to take any chances.

I have always wanted to learn about wild mushrooms but have never found a class or teacher...it can be so dangerous...we have the poisonous amanitas here wo I stay far away from shrooms that don't come from the market
ReplyDeleteWow those mushrooms are pretty but creepy looking
ReplyDeleteBenny &. Lily
Those shrooms are purty, butts can be dangerous too..Ma always picks them up cause she knows I like samplin' everything and she doesn't take any chances. (I know you guys are just too refined for that!!!)
ReplyDeleteAnyhu, I loves your dock pic!!! nice.
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
You would think I would get some shrooms in my yard because we flood it once a week. But nope. Although I do see some when we go on hikes. I like how colorful yours are.

Our mom is as nutty as yours is, Reilly! She loves toadstools and mushrooms too. She actually thinks they're works of art and as pretty as flowers are!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥

Oh no, you've been having Scottish weather! But we don't get mushrooms like that. They're quite cool, but I'm sure Denny wouldn't touch them!
ReplyDeletePippa :)
Did someone say geese? Wow 76% humidity you would never make it here! We get toadstools too but they aren't near as pretty as yours! Love Dolly
