For the first time since we moved in here, we have large mushrooms growing in the front yard. They struggled to form a fairy ring, but couldn’t quite manage it.
They’re really big.
I don’t know if a toad could use it for a stool, but it might be handy as a parasol.
Georgia has a lot of mushrooms. A few are edible. Most are inedible. Some are poisonous. I would never pick a mushroom in the wild to eat. I just don’t know enough about them, and they aren’t really my favorite food anyway. Based on my limited research, these do not look like the edible mushrooms of Georgia.
I posted a photo of a turtle eating a mushroom. It looked somewhat like these, but I wouldn’t make a bet on it. I also wouldn’t eat a mushroom just because a turtle said it was safe.
This mornings breakfast conversation revolved around whether or not toads actually sit on mushrooms. Much of the photographic evidence appeared to be photoshopped.
Beautiful mushrooms there. I’m with you, though, I would never eat a mushroom picked in the wild. Roger got sick once eating some Shaggy-mane mushrooms that he had picked when we were living in Port Townsend. It was no fun at all.
Debra — What an amusing breakfast conversation that must have been.
Robin — They actually look like they should be edible, almost like white bread. In the few photos I have seen of edible mushrooms in Georgia, the good ones don’t look appetizing.
