Thanks for the new info, Jacqueline. Still don't think I'd try them.
Right you are, Tim. They're everywhere, especially in the lawns, since it started raining. Funny how people water their lawns regularly, and no mushrooms grow. But as soon as it rains, they pop up all over the place. Annoys a lot of homeowners.
