Hundreds of mushrooms destroyed

I go to college in San Francisco and I was walking across campus a while ago and saw a patch of a huge amount of mushrooms. I do know very little about mushroom hunting but I do know cyans grow here and they looked very similar to pictures I have seen on this site. I was going to get a camera and try to get an ID, but the next time I saw them the entire patch was a pile of ash. I could have had enough mushrooms for such a long time, but no, the stupid school had to go and incinerate them. Sorry for the rant, but it made me very upset

Killing life for no reason. Even if they weren't active, that's still mean. What if a giant fucking mushroom came to them and torched the fuckers?

Ya at first I was like what the hell they melted into a black pile overnight? Then when I got close it was the charred remains of the mushrooms.

We have to nuke the rainforests! Who knows what psychoactive drugs are in there! Nature is evil and must be destroyed in the name of the war on drugs!

Hearing this just makes me cry a little on the inside. Depends why they did it. Could it have been because the mushrooms were definitely active and they didn't want any people enjoying nature? Or maybe just some people thought it would be funny.

Well no one did it because it was funny, someone I was talking to said the groundskeeping guys did it.

Are you sure they were incinerated? Mushrooms do turn black and look sorta like they're "melting" at the end of their life cycle.

It was just too clean and fast for it to have been the melting at the end of the life cycle. There was very little ash left and not a trace of mushrooms, all of which happened overnight.

Florida is tough on mushrooms too. Crop Dusters spray cow fields once a week during shroom season to ensure that no mushrooms grow.
