@stcyr1up Skat is yucky black animal droppings like from raccoons, possum, armadillos & all these Florida critters that share their lives with our yards :-) They usually pile them up in a ball.
@cimes1 Thanks, I did not know that. Dictionary has a much different meaning : A German bidding card game. I'll have to look closer, as I don't think it's a card game going on there. LOL
@stcyr1up Ooooops, was relying on my memory and spelled it wrong...should be scat. In the meantime, I googled "black mushroom" and the 1st photo in the images looks very similar to yours. It was taken in the Smokey Mountains. Check it out.....
