My dear wife Karen told me I had to go take a photo of something out in the corner of our backyard here in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville.
I grabbed my iPad Pro and out the back door through the slight mid-October drizzle I went.
Did a neighbor kid send something over the fence?
Did a squirrel drop a bagel set out by a compassionate soul?
Nope. We have the biggest wild mushroom I’ve seen on my property growing out there in the corner. So far our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle has followed my culinary tastes and shown no interest in chowing down on the fungus among us.
Glad you caught that. Sadie doesn’t show any interest in the mushrooms out front, (there are lots every fall) but we check that they’re not in the back, because she is sometimes unattended there.

Good work, Joey. Our dogs are so special!

Those are delicious! Or dealy poisonous. I forget which. Oh well, no worries. 😀

Yeah, my dog and I don’t eat the shrooms, Tom and Max.

We had a whole lot of those this year. The good news is that Cody didn’t show any interest in them, and the bunnies and squirrels seemed to be eating them and doing ok, but hubby dug them all out anyway. Then we got a crop of really nasty looking not-round mushrooms with bright yellow undersides, and dug those out. I looked those up, and it seems they are not only edible, but are considered a delicacy. I’m not chancing it anyway. Hopefully, you got yours dug out before Ellie got to it.

I’m only saying this because my son left half a chocolate chip cookie somewhere where my sweetie could get it, and she did. She did not feel well for a few days and it was not fun!
