Kitten eating fungi
With all the rain we've been having, some meaty looking
fungi came up under some trees. We usually only have toad stools. 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. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1vjguky1s...U3Me0o-za?dl=0 |

How about this one from my paddock. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...angeFungus.jpg Is it a stinkhorn fungus (Phallaceae)? I have not seen my dogs eating it. -- David - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A better world requires a daily struggle against those who would mislead us. |

There are some ravines about 100 miles from here where there are always a lot of different fungi growing when it rains. I'm not brave enough to try any, even if an expert were here assuring me they were safe. I had some good mushrooms at the Chinese restaurant today. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A better world requires a daily struggle against those who would mislead us. -- Android Usenet Reader http://android.newsgroupstats.hk |

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 ;-)) |

Looks like a Clitocybe to me, and while I'm not at all well versed in the genus this doesn't especially look like one of the species I happen to remember as being edible. The mushrooms aren't nearly as strange as the behavior is. I've heard of cats eating some pretty unconventional things before, but not mushrooms. Possibly the cat has some nutritional deficit? |
