I've never seen this many mushrooms here, only the occasional one popping up. Anyone know what they are? I'm not going to try eat them, but just curious as to what they are. The first picture is how they look when they start out, narrow. Then they expand, and curl up (second picture). The third picture is a group of these mushrooms, in various stages.

FOZ! I was wondering whether my soil was conducive to fungi since there are so many of them out there. They like lime? Quote \| Reply \| Report

So as one pops up pick it and put it in the garbage not compost. Quote \| Reply \| Report
