    Hi everyone, I've noticed this in the garden this morning. I just wanted to know if it should be removed. I don't mind if not it's just with having a very inquisitive puppy I could do with avoiding any issues. Its around 2 inches high and 4 inches wide.
    Thanks in advance :blue thumb:

    Think I'd get rid of if you have a young pup.
    It's a shaggy some thing or other.

        Possibly Lepiota rhacodes var; hortensis. of the 'Shaggy' type. All edible, but can cause gastric upsets.

            Puffball? If you let it mature and then stomp on it it will blow all the spores like a bag of burst black flour. Great fun :heehee:
