moochoo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Well I don't know what it is. I came downstairs this morning all bleery eyed looked into my garden and discovered this! It was all cream until I poked it with a branch I've never seen anything like it before. Is is fungal, vomit or ectoplasm?! Has anyone else seen anything like this before and if so do they know what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've no idea what that is - how weird! Did it feel fungal? or squidgey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yuk, looks disgusting, and i havent got a clue, but i am sure someone will give you an idea of what it could be, looks a little like soggy bread in some way, think i will wait abit for brekkies today, I shall keep watching this post xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Fortunately I dont eat breakfast anyway but am now horribly fascinated as to what on earth that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 After a day spent with a 'poorly' dog yesterday, I can cope with this! Perhaps Jazz found something similar yesterday morning? - and ate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The fluffy stuff looks like fungus. Maybe it's fungus on animal sick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The inside definately looks like something the Tigger would sick up after a heavy night in the garden - choccy is probably right - animal sick that's covered in some kind of fungi.

Ladylucan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yeah, but you gotta admit, re looking at the piccy, it does look like a pate sandwich........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickpea Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yeah I'd say it looks like cat sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think it's a fungus of some sort. When I broke the 'skin' of it it was cream inside not that orangy colour at all. By the time I'd got my camera it had changed colour, like it had oxidised! Once I'd broken it, it deflated to about one fifth of it's original size. There was definitely nothing there last night. Really wierd!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenlass Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I wonder if it is one of those "puff ball" fungus? Did a sort of powdery flour come out of it when you touched it? I'm intriguied to know hat it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It does look like something an animal has brought back up, looks horrible whatever it is....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy C Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Is is fungal, vomit or ectoplasm?! *she thinks* *realisation comes* I think it's ectoplasm. The ghouls and ghosts where on their Summer outing.

moochoo Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I thought it might be a puff ball but it doesn't look anything like the photos in my mushroom book I shall re-examine the evidence when I get home tonight - hopefully the cats haven't eaten it Maybe I'll never know....if it is a fungus then maybe i'll get more. If so I'll not disturb it and see how big it grows. I will keep you all posted tonight! Thanks for your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Puffballs aren't like that in the middle. They are like the white bit of mushrooms all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
