The Guardian had another tale of mushroom woe that I’ve read before. Here:

That is awful! Near death by mushroom!

I took a pic earlier, with a regular sized pen. Not quite the size of a sheep - yet.

I LOVE IT :disco:.

And I bought myself two packs of those exact pens recently :dotty:. My family always wander off with my pens 😬.

Mr LM broke the clicker on two of those pens!

Final update: I did NOT eat the mushroom. There was a huge amount of rainfall, and the mushroom grew a bit more but also darkened quite a bit:

So I kicked it over! :duo: Eww, definitely no appetizing:

And then Mr LM mowed it, and he said the whole thing was black inside. Then end. :))
