Mushroom question
I am new to mushrooms... a few minutes ago, one of them balled up. Now, it is back to normal. What was it doing?
Thanks,
gordon

Yea, that's what mine do when they've scored some grub. Night time response is that they just shrink up.

Yup a normal thing, wait till you see them detach from the LR cause they don't like that spot

If you mistreat them and cut them up, they multiply!
