Who's the mushroom expert, here?

<p>All this rain we've been having is radioactive, or something. What the hell kind of mushroom is this growing in my back yard? I've seen some freaky mushrooms before, but this one takes the cake!</p><p><img height="375" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/snowmaninva66/DSCN0095Small.jpg" width="559" border="0" /></p>

It's what came out of me 2 days ago, soorrry.

Other than the size, that looks about right. Think I should get rid of it, so my dog doesn't try to eat it?

<p>Damn, FP... I just looked up pleurotus djamor, and it sells for $69 for 8oz. The one in my yard is huge. I'm still not taking any chances, though. I have a guy I can find out from tomorrow, for sure. It's also growing about 5 feet from there, so I might be able to pick up a few bucks!</p><p>*EDIT* I hope my friend tells me that it is pleurotus djamor (pink oyster), because I just went out there and dug them up to put in the fridge. They weigh over 7 pounds.</p>

I'm an expert on mushroom heads and pink lettuce. OHHHH!
