I have these things that look like mushrooms/Toadstools growing in my front yard, They are lite yellow/cream color. Have never had them before, any one know what they are and what is causing them?. The other day one of the squirrles was eating one.........
LOL, fungis grows like a mushroom, if eaten by animals, they must be good. Tuffy, we are will see strange things growing with the weather we are having, and going to have this bad winter is coming, and only started.
get your winter fertalizer going now, and do again in 2 weeks... Spread it out enough to do in 2 applications this year... Trust me on this....
I remember a little thing a very good friend of mine who worked with me on the forestry told me. There are old mushroom pickers and there are bold mushroom pickers, but there aren't a he// of allot of old, bold mushroom pickers. I only pick 3 types and I take them to him even thou I have been picking them for years just to make sure. Are these growing in a circle pattern? If they are they are known as a fairy ring and I would have to ask Ralph what kind of mushroom they are. If they are pink underneath they are called pinkies, but I don't know a great deal about mushrooms as I have said. I know much more about other plant life in PA.

Thanks BBBB and Backache,
Here is what they look like. It looks like I have more weeds than grass, I was expecting to find a dead squirrel in my yard.
I have NO idea, but like BBBB said if an animal was eating them they probably are not poisonous, but you may have a squirrely squirrel. I believe the Native Americans watched what the animals ate so they would not die from wild plants. I wouldn't eat them NO MATTER WHAT unless I had a proffessional tell me they were good and then I would make them eat them first.
Tuffy... we have that scattered look here in Oregon... when my dad gets back from his hunting trip I can ask him. He use to have them in our yard on the farm and he always got rid of them. Definitely do not eat them. Love Red
I love mushrooms, but like you won't eat anything I don't know what it is........I'am not a Native American but a Irish transplant from PA..........
No Red I'am not going to eat them, just want to see if anyone knows what it is and/or how do I get rid of them.
II'am thinking like BBBB it is some sort of Fungis from all the rain and dampness we have had this year..... And it is raining here again, it never lets up...........
They are definately a fungi I believe all mushrooms are. You grew up in PA? Did you know that all puff balls in PA are edible now again that is what I have been told by several mushroom pickers. I actually do pick these and eat them, but again I have my friend look them over first. These are the fungi when they dry out and you step on them they make a puff of what appears to be smoke.
Tuffy, I get the ones you posted also. Ever notice they disappear as the day goes on also? They will re-seed themself also. If my sons Mother-in-Law can see these pictures, she will know what they are, as she is an old mushroom picker, and knows her mushrooms.
I will try and send them to her.
