All the ‘shrooms had come out to play! Here’s some of the charismatic mega-fungi I spotted yesterday.
This beast was 16″ across.
An this was the largest gill-type mushroom I’ve ever seen at about 8″ across.
in the same patch. 
There used to be a tree here.
The mycelium don’t forget.
I guess I finally solved this mystery. 
Puffballs.
You know, that time I went out with the mushroom club hoping to learn something, I did, and that was that the club just wanted to rip ’em out of the ground before anybody else did, to identify them and then eat them if possible. That was the last of that cannibal crowd for me. None of these fruiting bodies were harmed in the course of these photographs.
