While checking the rain totals for the last 24 hours, I spotted these in an area designated for a future tree. I laughed out loud when I caught sight of them!
I check rain totals for a 24 hour period at first light - we received 1.25 inches over the last 3 nights. Far less than many parts of the valley, but still enough to show mushroom growth in our healthy soil.
AND we got to skip major garden watering because of the totals. Always cool to let mother nature do your watering.
As I type this at about 8:45 am it has started raining again - and the sun is coming out - good old fashioned sunshower - yipppeeee!
Back to the mushrooms, these puppies are huge!
And no I am not going to check and see if they can be eaten:
1) I have no training; and
2) My sweety is severely allergic to mushrooms!
