Thank you Tetters, and if it only weren't illegal, I do have someone in mind that a very last steak and mushroom dinner invitation would save me a bucket load of trouble in future. But, alas, in lieu of committing a felony, I'll keep me mushrooms to meself !!I like your sense of humour Annie, and might just add that, evidently, so I've heard, some naughty people get rid of their enemies with a subtle helping of these fungi at dinner time. The curly one is a bit difficult to see. I wonder if anyone will be able to identify it![]()
Looks like that robot has given the mushroom a seizure !!Ever seen a dancing mushroom? Someone decided to grow fungi into a robot. I nominate @Zigs to represent humanity for when they start talking.

Engineers Gave a Mushroom a Robot Body And Let It Run Wild
Nobody knows what sleeping mushrooms dream of when their vast mycelial networks flicker and pulse with electrochemical responses akin to those of our own brain cells.www.sciencealert.com
I decided it was one of those happy mushroomsLooks like that robot has given the mushroom a seizure !!
Are you sure that's a fungus Annie? It looks like tents to me - like the ones spiders make to keep their eggs in.This one was in my driveway which has gravel beneath with grass and a few inches soil over that.

The two black pots that look like eyeballs are from where I touched it and the white stuff came off on my fingers. Looks like a little Alien from the planet Gravellus !!![]()

Do they make them with the consistency of thick cardboard? I just assumed it was a fungus, I really don't knowAre you sure that's a fungus Annie? It looks like tents to me - like the ones spiders make to keep their eggs in.![]()
Zigs said he thought that was a parasol fungus? The milkweed is doing ok! (Asclepia)The new milkweed garden is sporting some fungus which joined the about to bloom orange butterfly milkweed. The seedlings showing are also orange milkweed plants coming on.

That seems appropriately named. Research shows it is a near lookalike to a toxic false parasol ( Chlorophyllum molybdites) which can cause gastric problems...so I will not consume.Zigs said he thought that was a parasol fungus? The milkweed is doing ok! (Asclepia)![]()
