They're Back!

My little friends are back in the yard in South Portland.  Mushrooms are such interesting specimens....both really cool...and a bit creepy. The way they clump is almost like a little village.

I love how they nested in next to my fan flower (scaevola). How cool is mother nature!

Here's what I wrote a year ago.....I still love how the article described them:

"Most of the time, the fungi just stay hidden, breaking down organic material.  But, when the conditions are right, they burst forth, like desert flowers blooming after a rain." That makes it sound like such splendid "event."

I couldn't help but pause my yard work...and just explore them a bit.

Splendid!
