They are beautiful, but I would worry about the dogs eating them, and my horse. But they look like they have prickers on them too.

Our dogs don't mess with them or even those pesky mushrooms that pop up after the rain or watering. We do a bi-weekly sweep of the yard for mushrooms and those Pinedrops.
