Mushrooms

Different types of mushrooms have popped up off and on during the summer, little green-topped single ones, tiny feathery ones on wiry stems, but I have never seen such a prolific stand as this variety that "mushroomed" in my backyard after the two big rains this week. I suppose there is something in my soil to make them grow, maybe a certain pH, still decaying tree stumps, or something the dog has left. Whatever. They are short lived, pretty, and an interesting life form.
