My yard is being overtaken by GIANT mushrooms. Like, invasion-of-the-pod-people mushrooms. This was in my yard when I got home today. This THING. That's not so bad, you say? Well, my grass really needs to be cut.
Here it is on a 12" x 12" stepping stone. HUGE. Ick.
HOLY CRAP!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! It looks like some sorta evil creature...
ReplyDeleteDO NOT TOUCH! I believe that fungus is the rare Amanita Muscaria Obamaluv mushroom. From MushroomData.org: "The infamous (or one of them, anyway) "magic mushroom" is POISONOUS and HALLUCINOGENIC, as well very attractive to maggots. The effects vary greatly from person to person and mushroom to mushroom, the most common being at least an unpleasant experience all around. The toxins are converted to the more powerful form muscimol in the body, and affects the central nervous system, causing confusion, loss of muscular coordination, mild euphoria, profuse sweating, chills, visual distortions, and sometimes convulsions, hallucinations and delusions, and supposedly a feeling of greater strength. It also puts many people right to sleep, only to wake up hours later with the feeling they've been very sick and have early-voted for Obama."
