Hello Fungi!

They're back! I have never in my life seen such a mushroom and to my horror, when Jack was a puppy last Fall, he would race out in the morning and chomp down on these like it was the best thing ever! I would have to go out in the backyard before I let him out, with flashlight and nightie, and pick them all with plastic gloves on before he ate them. I'm not talking one or two, I had dozens of these little soldiers. They even smell. We developed a little pet name for these guys, I mean how could you not and when they came up in conversation with a landscaper, he told me it's actually their name?! I'll let you come up with your own name. I'm told they come from the mulch and that's usually where I find them. Well, I just found one this morning, I guess with all the rain.. they're back! I don't think Jack ate any, maybe he's over it, I'll be watching him. I was told they're not poisonous. Do you know of these and how to get rid of them? When you pick them, there's like a round base to it underground and I pull the whole thing. Yikes! This whole post is questionable!
