A pile of poo.......

..... or  ????  

I simply had to blip this - never seen one before, and once you  know what it is, pretty amazing.

It's a fungus, called, very descriptively, Horse Dung Fungus (Pisolithus spp).  I actually prodded it, first of all thinking it was a lump of rock, then a lump of poo.  But no, it's a fungus, and very rubbery in texture.

I was really excited - but I suppose not everyone shares my view  :)))

And I think I'll be stuck inside for the next few days, a solid week of rain coming up, and judging by the sky, due to hit at any moment.
