fungus?
I just found what I think is some sort of fungus in my flower bed. The
stalks are long and dark pinkish. It has a very small schroom head that is black. Flies seem to love it. When I took a stick and broke off the stalk from the ground, the part that was left going into the ground is hollow. WTF? |

If it has some kind of nipple on its top, it could be psylocibe semilanceata.

That's actually how it got it's name when it was first discovered, from what I read about it. I also read that once it starts it's hard to get rid of. I didn't notice a putrid smell but there were only three of them. Some people have reported that it makes enjoying your garden difficult because of the smell. I also read that in the "egg" stage, they are quite edible. No thanks. |

I don't even like mushrooms, so no chance of trying this one out. Definitely not a magic mushroom.

One exception: morels. I actually found SIX growing in the mulch outside the library.

Giant things- probably a foot tall -- last week. :-( No sign of others in the vicinity-- but I made a note to start checking that spot earlier next year. It is the first ones I've seen in years, and can't believe I was a week late walking that stretch with the dog. Jim |

You might want to reschedule that walk. I went back to see if there were more morels, and, even worse, there had been gardening in addition to weeding. I did remember to throw the inedible portions of the morels under the crabapple trees. Probably should have thrown some ash there too. Hope springs eternal that I will see some in my yard again. (I did find them in dad's yard, which had been part of an apple orchard.) -- Jean B. |
