Ok so from my knowledge of plants that I have, that is a fungus or mushroom. I'd suggest until we figure it out remove your pigs from the cage and place them in a temporary cage. It could be bad for them to stay in the cage with the fungus. Also keep a close eye on them in case they ate any of it. If they start acting "funny" or "off" take them to a vet.

Also could you get a picture of the underside of the fungus and a picture of it next to a ruler of something for size reference. It would be very helpful in my search to find out what it is.

hey Spartan
I already bought a new plastic cage and threw the old one away.

Ok that's good. also how long is the green phoenix thing?

I hope your boys are doing good.

I'd say it's a young Coprinus sp.

I found a pic online someone said it was an ink cap that was about to die. pretty sure its not that but we have an idea

hey Spartan
the green phoenix is a lighter
the boys are doing great thanks for asking.
Im not facing any problems with the plastic cage this is good

From what I read the fungus was caused by the decaying of your wooden cage so changing to the plastic solved your problem and you shouldn't ever see that fungus again.
