A kitten was licking and chewing on some with gusto. When
I knocked it away several times it kept going back for
more. It hasn't gotten sick or died yet.

I'm enclosing a link, hopefully someone can identify what
kind of fungi it is.

I don't know. There are some weird fungi about.

How about this one from my paddock.

Snort! How did you take that? Upside down with your feet on the ground
or doing trick riding and haning from a stirrup? :-))

Is it a stinkhorn fungus (Phallaceae)? I have not seen my dogs eating it.


Before the link opened, I was thinking that the dogs woudld be more
likely to roll in a stinky fungi, but rolling on that would be rather
difficult ;-))
