It's growing in my garden and I don't know if it's pet friendly or if it's poisonous or venomous

I'm assuming it's a mushroom toadstool thing but I don't know if it'll hurt cats if either girl sniffs it

Tigger walked near it this afternoon and I don't know if it was safe for her to even do that

Why not just pick it up and throw it in the bin? I agree, it does look like a toadstool.

Its literally growing there, physically attached to the grass, idk if snapping it off will release poison that will get Tigger and Willow

Snap it off and throw it away, then pour a few basins of water over the area or hose it if you have a hose.

Looks like a puffball.
It will puff out spoors when it bursts. Wear gloves and mask if you do pick it. It's not that it's poisonous but it's not pleasant

I'm in the UK, do we even have puffball things?
