Title: Look what I found in Kilbroney Park..
Post by: Rory on May 20, 2012: Was walking the dog today in Kilbroney park and came across
2 of these mushrooms! (not my pictures)
Quite the freaky looking thing! looked poisonous to me..
Turns out its some form of Magic mushrooms? I just googled mushrooms and this came down under it with a whole whoha about it..
