LARGE MUSHROOMS IN THE GARDEN


The mushrooms have been cut  because the lawn had to be mown, alas. The mushroom above is about 4 inches in diameter and the curled mushroom below is about 8 inches.  Though the two don't look much alike, they were growing fairly close to each other. They grew inches in diameter by the day.


The stems and undersides of the mushrooms are pictured below.  I think they may be the same species at different stages of growth.

  1. I don't see any mushrooms like those in my book. Hmmm.

    1. Piskie, I haven't found anything like them in my online searches. I know there is a species of large white Amanita mushrooms, so we won't even think about eating them.
