Pet Owners Caution

[Uptown Girl]

The Florida Master Gardeners (sorry, no link) has posted a warning.

False Parasol Mushrooms- (the ones we see popping up around us) are poisonous and can be deadly to you and your pets.

Please steer your pets around these mushrooms- no sniffing, touching or nibbling.
Watch any grand babies as well! :thumbup:

Thanks for the heads-up! They don't seem to be in people's lawn, thank goodness. I see them a lot in the common grounds grass, though.
