My first #FungiFriday post ever, and while I'm in northeast #Florida , this is a totally unknown mushshroom for me.

They do seem to pop up everywhere in rural lawns and grow in clumps of 2 or 3. They're golf ball size to tennis ball size spheres, so there's no exposed stem until broken open.

Is anyone able to identify these, or at least know if they are toxic or poisonous?

Here's some #FungiFriday news:

In Hungary we have an online vote every year for Fungus of the Year.

The 2023 vote just concluded, and it seems like the 2023 Fungus of the Year will be the Gomphus clavatus (a.k.a. pig's ears).
It beat the citron amanita and the pine bolete.

(We also have votes for Mineral of the Year, Bird of the Year, Wildflower, Butterfly, Fish, Insect, etc. I live for these votes.)
