What On Earth Are These?

pattypeep — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 16:43:08 GMT

These are growing in a pot that I planted a few weeks ago containing lily bulbs. They were tiny at first and now they are as big as this picture. I suspected mushrooms, but am unable to locate anything that resembles these on line. Anyone have a clue? TIA

I wouls say some sort of fungus for sure. I've seen so many around my yard because I'm afraid my dogs will eat one and get sick. One of Dwayne Johnson's (The Rock) puppies ate a mushroom and died a few years ago.

@pattypeep That is unusual. I am curious to find out what it is also. It almost looks like something hatched from it.

They are aliens and obviously they have hatched.

@leeleeBAnd.......we have a winner. Thank you, @leeleeB My dh and I brought in bags of compost and I added compost to this pot, so we believe these are from the compost. We don't have any in our yard, thank goodness, as we have furbabies.Thanks again !!

Interesting.............you're lucky that's all it is. Years ago my Aunt had an enclosed porch - and bought a bag of dirt (of some kind) for her rose garden. Opened the bag - returned to porch later and found a snake slithering around the floor.

I've always been cautious about garden soil ever since.

@pattypeep It's definitely a fungi, not to be confused with a fun guy! 😆 I think it might be a Cup Fungus of the Pezizaceae family. There's a You Tube video about it. Here's a pic I found:

Ugh - they are poisonous to pets and children. I'd be very unhappy, if they came in a bag of soil or compost that I'd bought. That should be sterilized. I'd be inclined to notify the manufacturer and/or retailer.

@leeleeB You found it quicker than I did and posted while I was still looking! You are the winner! What did you win? 😉

I never seen anything like this. Boy I learned something new today.

You know I actually had no idea of what they were but I scanned the pic with my cell phone and searched from there! I am glad that you all came back to check here because yes it says that they are POISINous!Be so careful and get rid of them~

@fthuntPoor Auntie! But poor snake too. Finds himself a nice warm bag of dirt to curl up in and Somebody Hijacks him! Uncomfortable for all involved!

I had these in my garden after it was newly mulched. They were a bit of a shock! Fungi take some weird shapes sometimes. Icky.

stinkhorns!

@VeneziaI am probably going to try and find the mfg name and address on the package and email (or send) them a picture. I agree ~ they are poisonous. I don't have small children, but some people may that use this soil that DO have children.
