As these age, they kind of "melt" upwards.
I have those puffballs all over under my spruce trees. Do yourself a favor and dig that thing up and get rid of it before it splits open and releases a billion spores.Had 2 odd ones in my yard this year...the one that looks like a brain

I ran over one with the mower...it was a dark brown cloud, freaked me out, I put that mower in fast gear & didn't want to breathe that crap in. Following week I had a bunch of brains growing out there! I put a mask & gloves on, collected them all with a trash bag. One popped up recently...gotta get out there & get it, about the size of a baseball right now. They're so weird!!!I have those puffballs all over under my spruce trees.

At night, the temperature here drops to -14 C, so the grass has already stopped growing. And what was inside the greenhouse was either removed and thrown into the compost (tomato tops are poisonous), or eaten by ducks (but there was little edible grass).I can imagine the conversation...

"If this is a greenhouse, where are the greens?"
"I told ya we should've flown south with the others. Right now, We could be sitting on the beach, sipping Pinacoladas & munching all the fresh greens we want!"
"Yeah Dude, why'd ya bring us here? I don't know what's worse, the menu or the service!"
"At least there's a view...Hey, there's Harvey rabbit, munching some greens!"
"Somebody better open this door! Let me out, I want those greens! Open this door Now! Where are those humans? Hey, Human waitress!!! Where is she?!"
"Told ya the service sucks."
During the war, crop failure or natural disasters, these mushrooms were eaten here. According to the local recipe, they need to be collected young, boiled for 15 minutes in boiling water, then pour out this water and pour new water, then cook for another hour, and then fry in oil with onions in a pan. I once tried it out of curiosity - I must admit, they are somehow tasteless. I can eat it, but it doesn't taste good.I ran over one with the mower...it was a dark brown cloud, freaked me out, I put that mower in fast gear & didn't want to breathe that crap in.

That greenhouse is huge & awesome!At night, the temperature here drops to -14 C, so the grass has already stopped growing. And what was inside the greenhouse was either removed and thrown into the compost (tomato tops are poisonous), or eaten by ducks (but there was little edible grass).
Now going out into the street does not bode well - by the fall, foxes have become active, it comes to the point that they steal even small dogs. Therefore, my bird sits in greenhouses as if under siege, foxes cannot reach it, because there is a concrete perimeter, but sometimes they walk around. My dog drives them away, but they are cunning and try to come unnoticed.
During the day, while it is warm, when the temperature becomes negative during the day, I will cover everything here with hay. There, a warmed house is also attached to the side, in which the entire floor is covered with fallen leaves.
There is almost nowhere to find fresh grass, the maximum that can be found is shabby, frozen nettles.
