    In the pot in which my yellow hibiscus grows several days ago strange yellow phallic-looking mushrooms -- dozens of them -- have started popping up. They grow rapidly daily, eventually with umbrella-like caps. I would love to know what they are. I hope to attach photos, but this is my first time, so I'll attempt to do so. Any information much appreciated.
