Did someone go and eat these mushrooms that were growing at Lunt and the lake front bike path? I took a photograph a few day's ago, while they were still in the dirt. Now, for some odd reason, they're gone. From the way a few of my commenters have been acting, I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of them.

Craig, anyone who eats one of those things is going to be in no place to talk. If those are the ordinary wild toadstools with white gills, they are likely lethal.
I have found all sorts of really decorative 'shrooms and fungi growing around here, but I'll leave picking it for the table to the experts.
Most the time these are inedible. Nor are you likely to get high. They bloom in damp areas. They last only a or two and then dry up. When it gets warm you never see them except for a couple of hours on dewy wet grass in the shade.
We have a huge tree stump on a strip of land in back of the bldg that produces an immense crop of ruffly "shelves" of scalloped brown and beige fungi every time the moist weather lasts for more than a couple of days. Plus we get immense stands of dark-copper and white mushrooms that sometimes are two inches in diameter.
I used to collect strange-looking fungi and take it back to my studio area for decoration. Once had an immense puffball that I was afraid to eat, but found intriguing to look at. Found out later that it was extremely edible and quite a delicacy. Had discarded it by then.
The culprit was probably the same one who destroyed our sunflower.
I bet those mushrooms were really tasty. Just think how many dogs on that lake front path peeeed on them.
ok you caught me, I been trippin' the whole time, gawd dont eat the mushrooms, I now doggie lift my leg to pee. Will I ever be able to dance again, wasted feelings, cant go on.
Craig, we all know you ate them, come on, it would explain a lot about you to us, so fess up, we know, tell the TRUTH, and yes, we CAN handle the truth.
Then again it is something you seem to know LITTLE about.
I'd be hard pressed to eat anything growing out of the ground around the 'hood, considering some dog owners still don't clean up behind their pets.
