This is on a large hill around an area that was poured with concrete. It’s very hilly here and there are properties up the way so there’s lots of moisture in the hill. These mushrooms popped up in my yard a week or two ago. They seem to be emerging around an old slab of concrete on a hillside. They turned to slime/ooze after a week or so that had a strong unpleasant odor. 1) What kind of mushrooms are they? 2) There seems to be a large area of them. I wonder what they are feeding off of? 3) Does this indicate anything in particular? For example would it indicate high moisture in the hill? 4) Is breathing the odor of the slime bad for you? 5) Since I didn’t remove the mushrooms before they turned to slime, and they smell quite bad, I treated the slime with baking soda. Is this a good solution? 6) Should I do anything to prevent them from growing next year? 7) Of course I would never eat a mushroom I found growing in the garden. But I do wonder if they are edible. Does anyone know how one could go about having them tested? Any other thoughts? Thanks!
