Look At These Huge Frigging Mushrooms!!!

[leene_chan]

You can tell we've been getting a lot of rain lately. I found these at the bottom of the big hill in our back yard. I'm pretty sure they're poisonous. It's too bad. I do love me some 'shrooms. I think these kind of look like pancakes...XD

That reminds me of a funny memory from my childhood that became a lot more hilarious later. When I was in elementary school my mother bought this weird mulch for our gardens that contained whole cacao beans. It was a lot of fun picking out those beans and pretending to eat them. Anyway, we had the mulch down for a few weeks when we noticed these weird little...growths coming out of the flower beds. We'd never seen anything like them before. To risk sounding crude, they looked like little pink phalluses. O_O Anyway, we were so freaked out by these that we ended up calling the nursery and having someone inspect them. He said they were some kind of mushroom.

Last night when I was trying to ID these huge mushrooms on the web I found pictures of the strange fungi of my past. It's called Elegant Stinkhorn, otherwise known as THE DEVIL'S DIPSTICK.

Mwah ha ha ha haaaa...^o^
