a mystery

 

Yesterday Bill found this very unusual black mushroom growing tall between the feed shed and goat pen. I looked in a field guide and did searches online, but I never found anything quite like it. It stood about 10-12” tall on a sturdy black trunk, had a flattened center with a small nub, and delicate “petals”.

Today I went back out to look again — only to find it completely gone. Apparently eaten by one of our silly goats.
