We got a little bit of rain, finally, and fall mushrooms decided to pop.
Piper and I have been stopping to admire them as we wander out in the woods and fields.
Well, I admire them, at least. I think Piper wonders what I find so fascinating.
She likes to try and figure it out, even if it doesn't make sense to her.
She does that a lot. When I stop to take a picture of something, she likes to try and understand why "the big dog" thinks its worth investigating. As a result, I get a lot of Piper photo bombs!
There are places out in the woods that smell extremely mushroom-y and I stop and look around to see who is blooming. The colors, textures and edibility properties are all worth checking, from my point of view. (No eating the mushroom above!)
This one was so interesting because it had lobed caps. Almost like petals of a flower. One of these days, I may have my reference books back and I'll be able to start looking things up again!
In the meantime, I'll just enjoy looking and finding.
There may be more mushrooms on Monday... I think I still have a few on the camera that need to be downloaded and prepared! I know at least one reader will enjoy that. :)

I took pics of some beautiful Chicken of the Woods while letterboxing last weekend. Much prettier than Hen in the Woods, but also edible. I was not foraging for food, only a stamp. ☺️

I try to take an extra bag along, just in case I discover something tasty like that. I have some Chicken of the Woods in the refrigerator right now. :) They'll probably appear in Monday's edition.
What a great array of fungi ! I love them all. I think the bigger ones are different kinds of Lepiotas. I've been out looking at the abundant fungi in my local area - there are so many different kinds right now ! I feel as though I want to stay out and keep looking - and taking pics, too, of course. But one must come in from the woods and keep up with the daily routines, darn it. I'd rather do fungi !
Hugs to ya from BetsyLee
Hugs right back to you, BetsyLee. More mushrooms are on the way tomorrow. :)
