Weird Mushrooms or fungi?

A rock I found in the yard that I made a handle for. I have a picture of it in my profile in the comment section. Some old carved rock or permineralized bone. files.abovetopsecret.com...

Yea that's definately a strange rock or bone.

Apparently they are prehistoric... and according to some, a pest.

Maybe they are irradiated and turned into Triffids or something. The ones that tear themselves up by the roots and walk?

Not trying to demean or anything. It just looks a lot like it. if you say its stony... it could be fossil dung?

Tell me about it. These where nothing like I ever saw, that's why I decided to post here. I knew ATS members would find the answer I was looking for and more.
Great Job ATS!

I have a pic of what I think is a mushroom that was in my yard last year, It's a digusting looking thing. Pointed, red, slimey and a hole in the top of it.

Pic is on another computer though. Will post later.

Sounds interesting enough, post it when you get a chance.

It's field horsetail. Not an edible. minnesotaseasons.com... We have them all over the place in the upper Lake Superior water basin. They can be invasive as all get out. Kind of pretty though. I wish they were immature morels, I found a spot of literally acres of those growing.
