Yes! That's it exactly! Thank you!

If you don't win answer of the week, I'll be very disappointed. Anna L -- GIVE HER THE MUSHROOM (not the toothpaste mold, that looks horrifying).

I recommend collecting them and smuggling them into the back seat of your friend's car.

Cool! Glad to help figure that out. Ooh, and here's a picture that shows the pink goop oozing out, for the folks playing along at home:

Fnarf, never fear, mushroom has been given!

I had little hope that anyone would be able to identify this from my admittedly very poor description. Questionland FTW! More specifically, Lissamphibia FTW!

In other news, I've been terrorizing my husband with these slime molds. Last night I chased him around the yard, threatening to pop one and spray him with pink ooze. I am a very loving wife.

Is it edible, do you think? Or would you sicken and then erupt in a fountain of pink goo after a couple of days of convulsions?

Good lord, after they've grown a bit they look a bit, uh, scrotular, if that's a word: http://wiseacre-gardens.com/wordpress/slime-mold-lycogala-epidendrum/

You are welcome to come over and sample some slime mold delicacy, if you like. I'll stand by with the phone to call 911 if necessary.

I think I'm going to invoke my "mustard only" rule here. I was hoping some fat creep from the Food Network would go for it.

Why am I thinking of Day of the Triffids all of a sudden?

...and they do look extremely scrotal.
