  • What Kind of Mushroom is This?

    I found this huge mushroom growing in the children’s play area of my apartment complex. I put it up against a cantelope to show how large it is.

    No idea what kind it is, though. Sebastian found the area where the mushroom was growing to be very very interesting. He sniffed the ground and started digging immediately. I nearly couldn’t pull him away.

    Very large Mushroom with 2 hats.
    Just the hat.

    Here’s a place that is maybe not as helpful, but which is very cute because of how excited the author is about fungi in general:

  3. Oh wow. I think you’re right. And according to that link, it is an edible mushroom too. Had I known that, I would have planted it. I figured it would be too dangerous to eat, so I tossed it out.

    Danke Mike!
