Hi there

Had some fun lying around in the paddock taking piccies of two lovely long stemmed silvery looking mushies that sprouted out of cow dung.

Cant seem to find anything on the net to identify them. Dont worry I have no plan to eat them , I presume them some kind of "toad stool" or poisonous anyway.

I cant imagine that they would be too rare though.

About three inches high perhaps I 'd say. metallic-like reflective silvery caps, one was darker than the other.

Maybe they mean i have precious metals in the soil...:eyepop:...early retirement, here I come!

cheers

Frank,

I have no idea what they are -- but, those are two great photographs. Well done, mate!

And, what the -- blue sky!?

Sorry, couldn't come round this weekend. Will be in touch during the week.

Thanks H,

No prob.

I was hesitant to post a picture of fungus on cow manure. At first I thought it was crap but over time it grew on me...
:rofl:
I swear....I am my best audience! :lol:
