I’ve seen that type of fungus. And being a long-time dog owner? The description is spot-on, LOL!
Hope dry weather finds you this season. I always have a better garden in a dry year than in a wet year. We had a serious drought in 2012 and it was the BEST Pepper and Tomato season ever. I kept everything watered with well water and fertilized more than usual, but it was worth it.
Excellent production that year, but I don’t wish a drought on anyone. I also had big Bullfrogs in any damp and/or shady spots and one took up residency in my watering can.
I hate Bullfrogs! *SHUDDER*
Bull FRogs = Meat was severely rationed during WWII so fish and frogs took up some of the slack. We lived in Western FResno Ca were the irrigation ditches were full of both. Dad and I used a 2 man net by day for the fish and gigged frogs at night. My two older brothers and one sister served in the military. We had a 38 Chevy coupe with a spotlight that dad removed and made it hand held by running wires from the car to the lite. Mom drove the car slowly along the ditch bank while dad gigged the frogs and it was my job to keep the wires out of the weeds and this was RATTLESNAKE country ...
