This year we've seen more mushrooms in the yard than any time now. It's very damp and hot here, which they seem to love. A large mushroom farm operates only a couple miles from our house. The extra month of rain we've been having for the last two summers is contributing to the population as well, I think.
They also like spots where trees once grew. These two clusters sprang up where one of our old camphors stood right outside our front door.
I'm not a big fan of mushrooms. I have to watch for them now because I don't know which are safe or poisonous, and at this age the puppies will put anything in their mouths. But sometimes they are weirdly beautiful.
