This morning when I went out to feed the chickens I noticed that the two huge piles of composting livestock bedding had each sprouted a dense crop of thousands of mushrooms. They were kind of cute, about 6 inches tall, but I don't have a fungi identification book to figure out what kind they were.
Tonight when I returned to feed the chickens their supper there was no sign the mushrooms had ever been there. I doubt the chickens would have eaten them--I suppose they must have just shriveled up during the hot, hot afternoon and been reabsorbed into the compost.

I used to see those mushrooms in cow patties. I'm not sure what they are either!
We get those too! They pop up in the morning and by evening they disappear!
