Toad Stools

The black smoke mushroom, forgot its formal name can mess up your dogs nose and sinuses, or so i read. I walk along and pop them with my shoe, so I am probably bring a lot of spores into the house. Most likely bad for us?

They are called Puffballs. Most are edible and hunted around this area. Before they mature they are white and fleshy inside. I always have a bunch of them in the yard.

Mushroom Ring... As you can see by the full grown doe, some of these are 8 to 10 inches across.

Up here they call them puffballs.
Aparently they are edible in the early stages.

I had a 50' dia ring off them in my pasture this summer,some of these mushrooms where a foot and a half in dia.
