"I never understood how they were illegal. They grow in piles of cow poop. Seen them by the thousands. Just out there in the field..."

LOL ..... we never had any cows here on our property, but there are many deer. Do these 'shrooms also grow in deer pellet/crap?

We always have a few piles of deer poop in our side yard (they have a trail over there).

Thirty to forty year ago in the summer here we almost tried some of the mushrooms growing out of that poop. But, we backed off and bought some from a friend at Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Tech back when I was young).

It is best to know which ones are the right ones. A buddy once brought some over for my opinion. They were the wrong ones. He had them in a plastic bag overnight, where they had secreted a hideous black juice pulsating with maggots. I told him they were not the right ones. He agreed, in that he tried them the night before with unsatisfactory results.

I don’t think they grow in deer poop. I was always told it had to be black angus cow poop. We would find grocery bags full at this one field down home on a sunny day after a good rain. Those are, however, not the only mushrooms prevalent in pasture pastries, so know before you go!
