I was about to say I donโt know, but as others have also asked, I thought I should find out.
Iโm not absolutely sure of my identification, but if Iโm right they are edible but have to be harvested really quickly as they auto-digest, turning black (and looking really gross).
I shouldn’t like this…. I get them in heaps too in wet autumns – and they are a pain in the backside! Found the only way to get rid of them is scraping them deeply off their surface, often roots of cut trees – taking away even the rind of the dead tree is helping. Good luck – and yes, they do look cute – for about 10 minutes, after that they grow to be terrors!
How weird! Do you really think they’ll be gone in a day? They do look as if they might taste good, although I am not one to experiment with mushrooms ๐
And then there were…. hundreds? ๐ ๐

๐ They are tiny โ pinky finger-tip sized, so very labour-intensive to prepare. And Iโm not totally sure they are edible.

Wow, thatโs a lot of mushrooms! Are they edible? If so, get to work gathering! Otherwise, just enjoy.

You must have had lots of rain to cause the explosion of mushrooms in your garden. Incredible!

I donโt know, but I guess I should find out since we get them growing a lot at this time of year.

I donโt know. They are also really tiny and would take a lot of preparation if they were edible.

We get patches of these every year, but generally small and isolated. They havenโt become a problem yet ๐ฌ

They have a very short life-cycle. They turn black and auto-digest. Not pretty at all ๐ฌ
