Yea it's the first of my big plants I've taken down 15 of my small bubbas and that netted me just over 4 pounds. Slightly less than I was hoping for but well within the estimated range. I'm hoping this is 4-5 pounds of casey. I was thinking of starting to pull the craven / og plants on weds but I may hold out until next friday and see if they pack anymore on. I'll be nice once they're down I can remove the tarp and put the big rom back to rights lol. The roms and the agent orange is probably going to ride out the month.
 
Hey Woot...this is what those orange mushrooms start as...I will post the name of them later...you can see in the one in the middle, a slight orange tip starting its protrusion

I believe they are called Stinkhorns. Size: 2 -4 in. tall. What to look for: pink to red, foamy-looking stalk, tip tapered, with olive-green slime. remnants of oval 'egg' at base. Habitat: singly or in clusters on soil, humus, wood-chip mulch, or woody debris.

Stinkhorns Phallaceae

An egg-shaped case resembling a puffball encloses the young Stinkhorn. As the 'egg' matures, the Stinkhorn swells with water and lengthens rapidly- withing the span of a few hours. The top of the mature Stinkhorn is covered with a foul-smelling, spore-containing slime. Flies and beetles attracted to this transport Stinkhorn spores to new areas.

I found this info in my North American Wildlife book.

you can see in the middle 'egg' where it is starting to 'hatch'
